K20...H22...what else? I know the ideal swap seems to be teh rsx-s engine or occasionally the H22 prelude engine....but has anyone stuck anything NOT honda in ther engine bay? Maybe a toyota engine or chevy engine? I'm just kind of curious cuz i've never heard of anythign liek that 
it may sound stupid but i'd love ot see a vic with a vw 1.8t in it or somethin. i dont know.

^ the chevy small blocks in a Z is actually a rather common swap. but no, ive never seen a non-honda engine in a honda before. we have enough engine types that u dont really have to go outside of the honda make.

There are the old minis that they put b18s into that you can buy. There is also the Yugo with a turboed front chrystler engine and a rear v8 engine. There is that geo metro with the v6 turboed grand national engine. I also so a picture of an old accord with a v8 that came into the interior of the car. You can stuff anything you want into your car with the right amount of cash.

I think last month's Sport Compact Car had an article on a guy who swapped an SR20 into his Miata, that was pretty hot.

A while back there was an old old old school Accord w. some kind of a big block in it on Ebay, the guy removed the firewall and there was actually a chunk of the block -in- the cabin.
