No offence but, when you find yourself asking questions like these, I don't think you should be trying to do a motor swap.

Has this friends dad ever done an engine swap on a Honda before? If so, then what was the swap if you don't mind my asking.

something u may want to find for almost the same price is the JDM engines...listed above mainly is the USDM engines...with JDM engines u have the same engine but with a lil more hp...they can be easily recognized by not having a number at the the end

also...new mounting kits are coming out for the K series engine...that will most likely be out of your price range though

but as far as choosing an engine...that depends on what you are planning to do to it...you abviously have plans for it or you would be swapping the enfine...if you want to go turbo..than the b18c1...all motor, than the b18c5...i personally see no reason in buying a b18c1 then dressing it up in c5 parts, makes no sence to me...if you want to mess around, then ls-vtec, which the best combination is a ls block and a b16 head...although i saw the dyno sheets where the b18c1 head was compared to the b16 head, and there was really no significant gains, so u'd be better off with the b16 head...if u want straight line speed and tq, the go h22a...those are my opnions and what has been discussed many times in similar threads such as this...

but with any set-up u can go all-motor or FI...itz up to u...but all-motor is very expensive with hondas, but if u want cheap hp..nitrious is the way to go

about the H22a...when swaping a D series for a B series all that is required is engine mount and ECU. there are kits since Dseries for B series is the most common swap. the H series block is much larger and requires engine compartment mods. it takes more skill than you seem to have for swapping in an H-series. and for under 3500...a B18c1 is a good way to go if eventually turbocharging... though a low mileage B18c w/o ecu will be hard do find for under 3500...
may have to go for a higher mileage engine and rebuild it so yo ucan but a stand alone ECU...
