Post Best Engine

Hey Hey.

I hate to ask this of you as the answer is probably hidden in some thread somewhere on this site.. but if someone can let me know the best engine to throw into my 05 civic, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Another question I have is should I upgrade my clutch and exhaust at the same time, is that necessary?

I plan on starting the swap in about a months time. Hopefully this is worth the time, effort and money that is going to be thrown into this project.

Perhaps upon reading the replies (if any) to this thread I will have to search the site myself. I'm just really hoping there are some friendly knowledgable people with time and energy willing to help out.

BTW: <--- that is the gayest icon i've ever seen and it just doesn't fit on this mb.

Thanks

do a F20C swap and s/c that sucker. be the 1st to do it on a EMII. the motor, ecu, and tranny from hmotorsonline is cheaper by i think 2g's than the k20 swap. DO IT! DONT FOLLOW THE REST! F20c IS THE WAY TO GO!!!
