crx vtec swap?

alright im lookin to get a car to modify i thought the crx would be a good choise cuz it can handel corners and looks alright to but anyways
if you are really gonna get into modifying your crx you would do a engine swap right? what is the best motor to swap in? the vetec? how expensive is a vetec (or better motor for a swap)? how hard is the swap?
do you change the tranny to? are there any sites about engine swaps for the crx? after you do the swap are there allot of preformance parts to modify your engine even more? does anybody have the stats on a crx with a engine swap?

also

how reliable is a crx with high mileage?

and

do you think a nissan 240sx with a sr20det engine in it would be a better car?

sorry for so many questions thnks for any answers

My car had over 200,000 before my stupidity cause me to kill an engine. I seen people with over 300,000 on there cars... so relibility shouldnt be a prob if the car was well taken care of.

I'm a die hard CRX fan, but I would take a 240 with an SR20 over a CRX any day. RWD is so much better than FWD.

Look at it this way - my current car is a JDM Civic SiR with B16A.

My next car will either be a JDM S13/S14 with SR20DET or a JDM 180SX with Silvia nose cone (yeah - I'm a sucker for the Sileighty look ) with the SR20DET in it or an old-school 240Z with the L-series pulled out and the SR20 turbo dropped in instead - prolly the Sileighty though

Hondas are damn nice cars, I've driven over 12 of them over 17 years, but I've owned other cars at the same time and I know that there are cars that are as much fun - if not more so

I'm not going to get rid of the SiR though... well - not at this moment I'm not
