I wanna get a new engine for my 97 civic hx, what is the best engine i can get for the least amount of money.

 

whats your price range?
whats your budget range?
are you doing the install or are you paying someone to do it?
what are you going to use it for?(drag, autox, DD)

 

Get a Honda GCV 160 engine. Its hella cheap and...

• Fewer parts and reduced fuel and oil consumption for less maintenance.
• Full engine lubrication for less wear with the patented DuaLube™ System.
• Powerful torque for improved engine performance.
• Lightest weight engine in its class.

 

^very funny.

D series engines can be found for like $300 if you look around your local Craigslist.
