2004 civic sedan motor swap So I'm thinking about swapping the stock 1.7 automatic in my car but ive been recommended the K20 and the B16. I know the k20 has more horses but idk which to choose. BTW it'll be a while either way. Cash aint rollin in that quick lol

B16 is illegal in a 7th gen. The engine has to be same year or newer than the car. Your only real option is a K20, but its very expensive.

k20a2 is your best all around cost vs. performance. I told you why it was illegal, your not allowed to put older engines in newer cars. It's against law, not sure how else I can explain it. It probably has something to do with emissions and such.
