Best motor in 5th gen. civic

Alright, it's time for me to get a 5th gen. civic. Which would be better for the swap, a coupe or sedan. And which trim level would be best? Then after that, which motor would be best? I was wanting to do a B18C1 into a coupe, but I also love sedans. So I was going to let you guys help me out with the decision, which car, which motor? And I don't want you guys telling me about the biggest engines and stuff, cause I'm sort of on a budget. No more than $4k for the motor, that's why I was thinking B18C1, cause they average about $3,300. And what all would I need to swap, motor, ecu, what else?

stick with the b18. Anything bigger will give you handling and suspension probs
