whats the best engine i can drop in my 98 civic ex coupe 5spd. i want one thats not too expensive and easy to find

 

well the most simplest are the B18C5 (Type-R),B18C1,B16A2,B18B1(non-vtec)<--this motor i dont reccommend since you have v-tec already but you can always do ls/vtec . anyways with these motors your gonna have to get the ecu,shiftlinkage,axles,bolt-in swap,99-00 Civic Si Rear mount,wiring harness modifications and maybe some wiring.

now for a good look and always turning heads get the B16B (Civic-R) [sm=rockinit.gif] bolt-in swap,wiring harness modifications for LHD cars

 

easy to find would be b16
