usdm gsr engines- b18c1, you need some motor mounts, otherwise, should be an easy drop.

if you are low on money, civic si engine, b16a, new motor mounts, otherwise, direct bolt on....

I would say sohc vtec from an ex or something. how much $ are you working with? B16A is def. the best swap, but if you can't do that or another dohc vtec engine, than a sohc d16z6 will be your best bet.

b16a2/3 isnt exactly cheap, but still relatively affordable compared to b18c5 or b18c1....
