i agree with " beat up cars have beat up motors". and you obviously didnt do enough research if you thought you could hook up your tranny to an h22. your car is 10 years old and so are the motors, there are tons of information on the web about 10 year old things... http://hondaswap.com/ for all your swap questions/answers. and do the h22. dont even touch h23s. you need the whole engine/tranny/ecu, mounts for h22 into your 99civic (hasport.com), a set of axles that fit your h22 and civic, clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder. those are just the main things you need, there are going to be so much more small things that you need to finish the swap.
