I drive a 99 Civic EX, how hard is it going to be to swap a 93 JDM B16A in? Am I looking at something that's prohibitively difficult? If so, what engine swap is going to be easier for me, and have the same kind of result? I think B16A is the direction I want, but in another 6 months I could buy a B18C instead, if I was convinced it was worth it. I'm not looking for max power, I'm just itching for something with a little more potential than my current engine. Also, would it be worth selling my current motor, or should I just hang on to it? How much hassle would it be to put it into a 91 CRX? (For the record, I know an engine swap is, in general, a huge hassle, regardless of the swap, but my questions are about how hard it's going to be beyond the normal level of involvement)

The motor shouldnt be that hard to put in fairly straight forward for both the b16 and the B18. It help you a ton if you get a 2 helms manuals. One for your car and one for the car the motor came out of this will safe you some pain. Dont forget about the older motors are ODBI and your motor is ODBII, meaning that the newer motor has a lot more sensors and emissions stuff which will make things a little tougher.

It would be a pain in the ass to put your Newer motor in a CRX... For one the newer motor is a hydro clutch and the CRX is a cable clutch so you will have to change all of that. The other thing is that the CRX doesnt have all the emisions and computer stuff that your motor does. Its not worth it.. Sell it, and buy an older motor to put in the CRX.

Well, that being said, what should I expect to get out of my engine? It's got 42k on it, and of course no problems. I know the SOHC aren't exactly in high demand, but it should be worth something being so new, right? Lemme know what you think, and thanks for your opinion so far
