Just put a hemi in it

Don't worry, it bolts right in...

Really though, the b16s a good engine, but it depends what exactly you want to do it, like turbo etc. and how much power you want

well i wanna go high boost.
i HAD a 97 hatch with a b18c1 swap all motor and it wasnt fast enough i WAS going to tourbo that.
untill i blew an arm litteraly through the side of the block
but
for now i needed a car that ran
so this honda was presented to me
i figured a b16 route but i was unaware of what years i should be looking for and what not.
and what ill need as far as mounts and wiring on the subject

i know someone personally who did that to their EF hatch. It's pretty funny actually, because for it to fit he had to weld in a bulge in his hood like the mitsu eclipse has, and ricers laugh at him at stop lights for it and then he assrapes them. lol
