Are you saying you don't want to change the LX/DX tranny? It would be a good idea to switch the tranny if you change engines. Technically you can put a D16Z6 or Y8, and keep using the long geared D15 tranny that you have already, but I would suggest changing to the tranny that came with those 2 engines. If you are considering a B,H, F, or K series swap, then you have no choice but to use their transmissions. Hope I read your question correctly.
As far as being cheaper.... the 92-95 EX/Si and 96-00 EX engines would be the cheapest. Stepping up to a B series, the B18B (LS) engine would most likely be the next as far as pricing. I don't want to turn this into another B16vsB18vsH22 thread, so I just threw those 2 engines as your cheapest alternative since that's what you wanted.
