Exclamation engine swap question

considering getting rid of my B16b in favor of an H22a. I have no plans of upgrading the valvetrain anytime if ever and the H22a has the torque that the B16b lacks. If i were to do this swap I wouldn't do H2B, i'd go with ESP ( http://www.explicitspeedperformance....H22AHowTo.html ) b/c there are no problems with engine height. Just want to get everyones opnions.

Go h2b now's a good time to put in a hood scoop to compensate for the engine height, besides it's a civic it doesnt really matter

The difference in torque will make the car a much better daily driver. (imo)

i think i'm going to do it...but i do love the high revs of the B16b

a deciding factor my be how the H22a would perform at the track and in auto-x

You already have a B series tranny, you should go H2b or you will regret it when you realize how much H series tranny's suck.
