Long block question

[Razgriz023]

What's the difference between a long block and just getting an engine swap.
I'm kind of new to this and i got an integra with b18b1 engine with 200,900 miles on it and wanted to get b18c1 engine or c5 but looking at hmotorsonline.net they had two different types. One was the long block and the other was complete change. I'm a college student with a tight budget and wanted to know what would be the best option?

a long block is the head and bottom end. a engine swap is what u do to inistall the long block. or to some people a long block and a engine swap means the samething the motor. a complete swap is the long block, tranny and anything else u need to install. if i was u id think about either another ls or a gsr.

LS motor is a easier way for you get out of it.. but sounds like yours not having any problems so why bother.. better keep up with tuition payments .. then the b18c1/c5
