BTW I recently found out the price of a k20 swap into a civic hatch...7-8k minimum!!!   apparently a lot of stuff doesnt translate so u have to swap axles, electronics, etc....it's cheaper and faster when you turbocharge a b18 motor apparently.
ya it is a lot easyer to swap a b 18 in a older honda but if you have a 2001-2005 known as the basterd civic like i do the only swap you can do is a k20 or k24 thats why i bought a mustang i paid 16k for my civic new and to get a shop to put a k20 in my car is 10k so its not worth it to me

ok a new age mustang cost like lets say 15k well my buddy picked up a 92 civic cx hatch back for 1500 and he has like 15k in it wich is like a new age with bolt ons and he run 10.44@ 147 on the brakes cuz he dont have a cage and he put down 593hp and 463tq on pump gas making out 1000cc inj so look at the prices what would you rather have a $16,500 low 14sec new age or a $16,500 low 10 high 9 if he did not have to hit the brakes hatch back civic that still gets 25mpg if he does not hit boost ?????just my .02
i rather have the stang cuz looks a lot better. And just so u know you can get a 5.0 for 2k and spent 5-7k and run the same!!! Please get a life
ya i now thats why i bought my 86 gt that cost me 500 bucks
