My Project Car.......

i just got a 91 Civic Si for free from my mechanic. The Car Was Stolen Then Recovered. It has a new stock motor in it and has a aftermarket exhaust with bent mandrel piping. i'm ready to do a swap and i'm looking for a motor with neck snapping torque and lots of top end power and i want to know what set-up is good. and should i use forced induction TC or SC. My friends told me to go with a ls/vtec and turbocharge it but i heard the ls/vtec was overrated and my brother told me to go wit a crvtec but i dont kno what that is. and my mechanic told me to go with a CTR or ITR motor. and my pops told me to put a muscle motor in it but he's hates imports so i didnt pay attention to him so what should i do. and what tranny should i go with....

5.0L is not a 327, its a 302-305

Go with the V8 if you want "neck snapping" power, this will require loads of custom work.

More like how much money are you gonna spend?

im willing to spend about 3500-4500
and i apololgize about the mistake with the 5.0. wouldnt i have to convert to rear wheel drive if i go V8???

I doubt you could a V8 swap for that amount, or at least do it right. Rear-engine RWD would probably be the easiest, not that it would even be close to easy.

For that money stick with Honda stuff
