Default ENGINE SWAP

I HAVE A 98 CIVIC HX, I WANT TO SWAP THE D16 MOTOR FOR EITHER A B18 TYPE R OR A H22. WHICH WOULD BE A BETTER SWAP?

Default RE: ENGINE SWAP

h22 has more power and is easier to find, but i hear that the h22 is a difficult swap because it is so big. I know a guy who used to have an EG civic coupe with an H22. He said it's a pain and wasn't worth it. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but he said with an H22 in a civic you can't fit in the compressor, so forget about having a/c.
