Motor Swap

Motor Swap
ok so as some of you might know from another topic either my head or head gasket is shot in my stock as hell 94 civic dx coupe.
Alright so i was thinking that instead of getting the darned thing fixed i could maybe swap motors. I was gonna call some junkyards today but i then realized that i dont know what kind of cars have a B18 or h22 that would fit my car and also im not too sure about prices.
So apparently the mechanic says it would take him 25hours to do a swap so i was thinking of maybe doing the swap myself ( im not very mechanically inclined... i can change my oil and **** but i never really got down to the nitty gritty of it). What i would like to know is that if i'll even be able to do this myself ( i know of a few people with more experience in cars) and in whats cars i could find such engines... any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

RE: Motor Swap
If it was a straight swap it would be so much easier but since it's a upgrade to the engine alot of fabs and such will have to be done so you might want a little more experance in engine swaps.Go b18
