ok so first off, im not a total newbie. i have performed a few swaps in the past, just none on this chassis. also, i have been reading threads on this forum for a few days looking for the info i need, with no luck. so here we go.
i recently acquired a '96 EX that needed a bumper cover and transmission for $800. theres no rust on the car(rare for my area), and so i see it as having some potential. now, my powertrain budget is about $3K, so i was considering going B16A SiR2 swap since the whole deal can be had(with LSD) for about $2500, but keep reading all these horror stories about staying in your own OBD vintage, needing a lot of parts from different cars, etc. all im looking for is a straighforward swap.
so i ask of you guys, what would be my best(easiest) bet for a swap, budget considering? am i asking too much for $3K?
