The best choice IMO is either a d16z6 or d16y8. They're SOHC VTEC and put out 125-127hp. Doesn't sound like much, but the beauty of the swap is that it shouldn't cost much more than $700, and the d16's fit right in, no extra stuff necessary except for the ECU. No to mention there's quite an aftermarket for these little engines.

i was gonna say the same thing
a c5 will cost a lot in labour and parts
b16 is good but kinda torqueless untill you get to high rpm's
y8/z6's are the best bang for the buck, i would personally get the y8 simply cuz its newer and the dizzy is easier to do, if ecu is kinda optional cuz you can always get a v-afc and tune everything yourself or have a shop do it, but no matter what dont use a ghetto rpm activated switch, it will starve your engine in vtec mode
and the best part about running a y8/z6 is that you wont throw off your weight, cuz the engine is the same wieght as your a6
where as if you plan to swap a c5 your front will be heavy and you can kiss auto-x goodbye, but HELLO straight line racing
if you want torque then i would suggest a b18b,b20b/z
i have sat/drivin those babys and when you push that baby you wont remember what vtec is and what the hype is all about
