Default Engine Swap

I hane a 95 CivicEX Coupe and I was wondering what choices of motors I have to put in my car?
I was thinking something around a H22A motor, but I don't know if it'll fit. And if it does how challenging would it be to swap out and what all tools, mounts, and accessories would I need?

If that motor wont fit then what motor could I use that has more HorsePower?

If you go to the 'Engine and internal' section theres an engine list that gives a lot of information.

The B18c is also a popular choice.

Thanks for the help. I decided to go with a B18C motor, well when I get the money for it that is.

But aren't h22's a lot heavier? And like they don't respond as well to boost and are harder to swap, and find parts for than the B series. That's just what I have read.

h22's are about 35lbs heavier than d16's (engine block + transmission). I've seen weight comparisons, and that includes pictures of the engine blocks and transmissions on the scale. So let's just say a 50-lb difference if you include fluids and the manifolds and everything. If you throw a turbo kit on a d16z6, it'll probably end up being close to the same weight as an h22 swap, and we never hear anybody complaining about the handling on a boosted z6, now do we? As far as I'm concerned, all the crap you hear about h22's is just a bunch of ignorant assumptions from people with b-series engines that wish they got h's. I've talked to enough people with h22's to decide that the "problems" you'll have with an h22 are well worth the gainspower and torque.

And when I get myh22,I'm going to laugh at all the people that talk the H-series down because my torque number will most likelybe higher than their peak horsepower number lol
