I have a b16 crx si I swapped myself. My wife loves it and drives it whenever she gets a chance. So now I need to get her, her own Honda so she will leave mine alone.

I am buying a 1997 Civic Ex 2door. 5 speed
It has light body damage and something wrong with the motor. Only 1000 bucks so this leaves a a lot of money to make this car right.

My question is this:
-while I’m pulling motor are there any upgrades or swaps I should think about sense I have the motor out?

-as it stands I’m just leaning on about 6-700 bucks in head work and ,intake, header, exhaust.

-keep in mind it does not need to be a rocket, just fun, just want to know if I’m looking over an easier and or better idea in this situation.
 
have you ever considered building the motor you have? or buying another that doesnt need all the head work (D's are cheap). with a P&P, P29 pistons and some other Honda parts, you could have a D that would keep up with B's. Just a suggestion.
