Default Engine 6thgen

well i just found out that a guy i work with has a custom body shop and he is going to do around 3k for about 700 and he is going to give me some 18's including tires new, but he wanted me to make sure if i was going to do a engine swap that i do it before he messes with it, and i wasn't sure what i should get, money isn't that much of a problem maybe only spend around 2? im not sure i dont know that much, but i have a 98 vtec 4cy sedan, got a body kit, cai, exhaust, so i'm just wondering what you guys think would be good, thanks all

If your going to do an engine swap.
Ask him if he could put in for your a JZE-GTE engine and to convert it to FWD....lol....
If he can do that then you will be dogging all Honda's out there. With a few mods of course.

throw a turbo on your F23. it will be a lot easier to do than a swap.(not that both are easy to install)

In the latest issue of sport compact car they did a swap of the 2004 Accord engine and the Type-s Head from a RSX to make a pretty Easy swap for 200hp on pump gas.
Check it out in stores it's not on thier website yet.
