ehh, not so much a b series feels way more powerful all around.

if u buy a b16 and just save it till your engine dies, plan on making a home for that engine cause you wont be swapping it for ages.

I couldn't agree more.

The automotive axiom:
Well maintained Civic engine = many miles for many years

Okay, get a b16. Have fun spending $3,000-$3,500 to swap in an engine that puts down ~135hp to the wheels and produces next to no torque. Have fun wishing you'd have just spent the extra money for a b18c.

B18b non vtec is a good swap and cheaper than a vtec motor. Makes a 140hp and 127 tourque with head work has great potential. But with the money inhead work you could just go with a B18c1 with a vtec head.
