Re: Need advices.
a 2.0 (K20 engine) will be EXTREMELY hard to fit in a 2000 Civic. Better bet go with the 1.6L SI engine (B16A2), or the Integra 1.8L engine (B18), they give out 160HP and 180-195HP respectively.

Re: Need advices.
both engines I mentioned are DOHC, and no, they don't make these engines anymore, you'll have to look online (ebay etc.) or go to a reptutable junkyard and get one. If you want one in good shape (and by all means you should) plan on spending about $1500 - $3000 for a B16A2 and as much as $5000+ for a B18 (Integra GSR) engine. Add to that the labor from a shop for installation. PLUS, you have to swap the transmission too, these engines won't hook up to an automatic, and the gearing on LX Civc's manual transmissions is different.
All in all, you should be able to get a decent B16 (1.6L) swap, complete with engine, trans, and labor for under $6000. The B18 should run you in the ball park of $7-8000
