Rep Power: 0

Okay, my car is a 98 Civic(wait for it)...DX. I got it for a song as nothing beats free. It's as mechanically sound and street legal as can be but we all know that it obviously needs a new powerplant and drivetrain. My dilemma is this, do I: A. Do the obvious B18C swap?
or: B. Gut the 96 Accord in the driveway and cram the V6 in it?
I guess what I need to know from the Honda gurus on this board is which swap will give me the most overall potential? K series is sadly not an option for me. Thank you guys for your time.

Didn't mean to post twice, all apologies.
