what kind of engine would you prefer?

hey ya'll, just like the title says, what kind of engine should i get?

i'm under a $2000 limit, so i'm not sure if i should get a b16 or a zc and mods

i want something that will give me a good preformance but also wouldn't have to swap out for a long while. i drive a 91 std hatch by the way.

b16a is much better than ZC, also check out importbuilders.com for the b16a, they have amazing performance modifications for that engine.

You can get a b16a full swap with a LSD trans for $1495 or $1250 without. If you are interested please message me or just reply here. It is a much better motor than the ZC and has much more potential, but if you are limited to $2000 you may not be able to get anything but the ZC due to the shipping for a b16 and the mounts you will need to swap.

you can go with a b16 but i would prefer a zc sohc.
for 1 its cheaper and depends what u do to it.

i would go with the b16 if i were you. just my opinion though. do some reseach then decide yourself.

well my plans for the car is to make it a nice looking sportish fast car.

so far i'm just workin on the body alittle, gettin rid of the rust and junk like that.

I'm not looking to bring it to the track or anything like that, but want it fast enough to beat the stupid spoiled little momma's boy (girl) car driving pricks and other cars that feel the need to challenge my car because it has an exhaust and looks like its fixed up.

But which engine would be able cheapest to get and upgrade? and bring me decent or the best performance.

And another question, what exactly is a mini me swap? and would you recommend doing that?
