Need advice on engine swap into 98 civic dx.

[OkO]

Hi.
Recently, I started thinking about doing an engine swap on an 1998 civic dx, and quite frankly, I know almost nothing about doing an engine swap. Could you give me advice on what engine would fit, an estimate on how much everything would cost, etc.?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Hondaswap! This is a very common question that we get quite often. I would start by reading up in here: Technical Articles and Reference - HondaSwap Forums. Anything referring to the "EG (92-95)" and "EK (96-00)" chassis will usually pertain to you.

An engine swap will cost you anywhere from $500 - 10,000 depending on what you goals are and whether or not you do the work yourself. First identify what you want out of the car and go from there.

Anything B-series or D-series will be a bolt-in swap for you. H-series, K-series, and the J-series V6 engines will work also, but those are not exactly bolt-in...

you do a civic type r for under 4g's

I doubt that, unless you're buying from some shady dude on Craigslist and the motor's ID is scratched off...

... and CTR engines are over-rated, no torque sucks
