    not many options for price ( considering doing it RIGHT)

    1: well pretend u jsut want a fun car. best swap wont be done for 3000, but here are options.

    3000. THATS NOT MUCH AT ALL, FOR A SWAP, cont hink it can be done "right" for that price. , that is considering, all new parts ect, of course there are many ways to cheapen things used parts ect.

    b16, around 2500 shipped,(maybe a lil more) various parts = 800 ( mounts, blah blah)

    install: u gonna do it yourself? or a shop?
    1: if shop, there goes another other 700.
    if yourself: make sure u know, or have friends.

    b20: believe it may be around your budget, cheap motor, power, easy swap.

    gsr, out of price range, (unless buying from 'anyone")

    b16 ride out price = 3600.

    i say grab the b20 for about 600-800 and use your stock 5speed assuming thats what u have. get a skunk 2 I/M for 220 then I/H/E and high flow cat. or maybe even a throttle body for about 290 or so. u should have some really good power

    WITH THE cash u have now, should mostly be ued to do the swap RIGHT, when its done right, its alot easier to mod, feel good about modding it.

    the b16, like most have great potential.

    FUCK A B16
    Why would you suggest someone to do that. There are no advantages to them.

    Do an ls/vtec

    You can get a good LS shortblock for 5-700 a b16 or gsr head for about the same, and probably about the same for a tranny. Or cheaper if you want an ls tranny. Get an ecu and plug it in.
