the cheapest motor for power is the h22....any other motor with as much hp is atleast 2k more (type R) not to mention the torque numbers on the R arent close to the H....theres always K series for like 5k.......
I thought civics WERE powered by lawnmower engines.......
But, after the swap is done and you have bought all the things you are supposed to with no short cutting. The swap then becomes quite pricey. Whereas with a simple ls there isnt much extra stuff to buy. Of course the h22 would destroy the ls stock for stock, but thats not what we're talking about. We were talking about which is cheaper. And the LS, when its all said and done, is cheaper.
