So I bought a 98 civic ek coupe and I'm planning an engine swap but not sure if I should go with a b20 or b18 or h22. Right now it's a stock d16y7. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's a pic of it right now.

well i have tons of info on F/H cause thats what i specalize in i have a g22 which is f22 single cam block with h22a vtec head on it. i personally reconnmend it to everyone but. yea depends cause some b series swap still cost more also h swaps ar enot expensive mater of fact you can get a jdm h22a type s which made 22o hp stock and its only 1500ish with everything included. but b series are easy swap basiclly a plug and play swap.
F20b and single cam f series got iron sleeves from factory. basically they're boost monsters

Well JDM B20 long blocks are only $900.. cheapest swap I can think of.
This link has it for $600, then you need to get a transmission.

yea its just long block. b20 are not so great they crack sleeves even non modded ones, honda actually has a service bulletin for it personally i think they're just ticking time bomb, no offence.. my brother had b20 in his integra. for b series i would just get b16 or b18 or jsut do the poor man type r build ls vtec
you can get f22b1 for 350$ stock 145-150hp stock b18b ls also 145-150hp stock but usually sold in street for 500-700$
