But seriously, the only *known* swap was done by htown with a K20A2 (RSX-S). This cost roughly $10,000. It's not a cheap swap, but doable. Rumor has it that HASport is coming out with mounts (if they haven't already). Import Tuner (I think) did some research into it and said you'd need the RSX subframe too. Plus you'll need RSX wiring/ignition and stuff. Have fun.
Also, rumor has it that there's some cat in Japan that did a B series swap, but noone knows for sure. 
You could swap in a B series, but you might have some problems as you're not allowed to swap in older engines, or something like that. If you're really serious, do lots and lots of research before even thinking about it. Cal places like HASport and Import Builders and talk to them. They should be able to help you out.

Rep Power: 0 you forget PAPADAKIS' CAR IS NOT A 7TH GEN CIVIC...that like saying that one nascar guy drives a monte carlo. It is a drag racing frame with a painted 7th gen body over the frame.

Rep Power: 0 something people have seemed to not realize is that you can put a B18C into your ride with out any legal problems, just as long as the engine comes out of a 2001 integra. personally, if your gonna go with a B series engine, dont settle for anything less than a gsr or type r.

Rep Power: 0 also on the k20, youd have to have the gear box and tranny being that its a 6 speed, and our vics are a five speed, and also, i believe they turn the opposite direction. but if you've got the $$$$ im sure someone would be glad to do it for you. let us know how that h22 fits though.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

but it also depends on how patient and skilled the team of mechanics (cuz its going to take a team) you have access to.... cuz some will be baffled and just tell you it can't be done... but hey, nothing is impossible, so go and try it...
anyways,
