Best engine?

What engine do you think I should swap that has the best bang for the buck? I was thinking about swapping a GSR. (Note: This is just a tentative plan)

Why not fix up the engine that you have? A GSR would not be the best bang for the buck by no means.

Personally I think so. If you put the same amount of money into your SOHC VTEC as you would a Swap you will beat that car you have with a Swap. Tune it right and that shit will be fast. Also when you beat a DOHC you can rub it in

get anything but the B16. IMO it's kind of a crappy motor. the head itself is nice but the block sucks anal. get a B20 motor and slap a B18c1 tranny on. you'll be way faster doing that then trying to build your sohc motor up. you'll also run into less hassles and have less maintainece:sun:
