Engine swap
#11
Any B-series will fit in a 5th gen with no problems. Realistically, you're looking at ~$3k to swap in a B16 (by the time it's running), ~$3k for a b18b, ~$4k for a b18c1, and ~$4k for an H22a.
Personally I'd just go H22 and be done with it, especially given that you want as much torque as possible; the H22 is a fairly torque-y engine: ~160ft*lbs compared to the ~111ft*lbs from a B16, ~127ft*lbs from a B18b, and ~128ft*lbs from the B18c1.

The thing about an H22 swap is that the swap package is only part of what you need. To fit the engine in a civic, you need custom mounts and axles.
Figure just over $2k for the swap package (~$2200 is about the average price), $850 for the mounts and axles, and another $1k on replacing things like the water pump, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, ignition system, clutch; the standard list of things to replace while the engine's out of the car while doing a swap.
As far as what you posted, either the first one (the motor, trans, and ecu) or the "SUPER engine swap package" (the name made me LOL) would be what you want. Personally, I'd rather spend the extra money and buy the engine/trans/ecu and buy Hasport mounts and axles, but that's just me. I'm not a fan of putting generic parts in a car, breaking the part, and doing it right the second time; I'd rather get it right the first time.
