I was wondering which hondas are best for an engine swap, say if i had a crx and wanted to find an easy swap using something else like an rsx engine, i dont know the exact names of the engines cuz im new to this, but if u guys know anything that would be great

i wont spend all my time talking about my own car, or rant about hondas, but i will say one thing.

if your set on hondas and if you want a fast car for cheap, pick up a CRX.  they are super light weight and dont need much power.  you should pick up a B18c or even a B16 honda motor.  easy swap, you can find those motors cheap, and there is a lot of aftermarket support.

my buddy had a stock bodied CRX, small stock steel wheels, grippy tires, B16 with basic bolt ons and spanked a lot of people with it.  i was surprised at how quick it was.  it doesnt take much to propel a car that only weighs 1800 lbs.  200hp honda motors can make a CRX a rocketship.

granted its still FWD, but hes a beginner. not great on a track, but Freeway pulls will be a blast.
