Just wait and get a B swap or do a mini me for around 300.

B18B would be the cheapest.

Re: best budget motor swap?
I would grab a D16 head and mate it to the D15 bottom end. Gives you VTEC, and with some eventual work and boost, you can get a decent amount of power. A friend of mine has a boosted D16 that's putting out about 330whp.

Hell if I know. I know he built/reinforced the crap out of it, and he's got a custom turbo kit on it, pushing 22lbs of boost. It is the ONLY SOHC that I will bow down and say it owns me to. But not for long.
