engine swap h22a > 2001 ex coupe 
i am trying to find out if there is any one out there that knows of a place in jacksonville/daytona beach that does engine swaps. i am trying to fit an h22a into my ex coupe. i first of all want to know if it is even possible. second of all how much it is going to cost me. i would also like to know if anybody out there has either done this, has seen it done on a friends car or actually knows how to do this step by step. my last question is this: if i do do this (he he he i said do do) what are some precautionts that i need to make sure of because i know that that is a big engine and can barely fit into an eg civic chassis! thank y'all for y'alls time and i appreciate y'all listening to me ramble! 
yep got to agree k20 is a better way to go. gonna end up being less on labor too. alot of custom fabrication has to be done to get the h22 in that car. I think there is someone doing a b16 in a 2001 ex.
I wish I was asian

Rep Power: 374 The H22 does not drop in. No one has tried it yet to date. YOu will have to take a sledge hammer to your fire wall to make room and I dont' even know if that will work. The H22 is heavier than the K20 and will cause some steering issues. All in honestly you are better off swapping a K-series in your car. It will cost less and its got lots of potental.

Take the K20, bore it out to a 2.2L and you have yourself a K22. H22 is illegal and won't fit.

Rep Power: 0 If you are all about this displacement thing why don't you just get a K24.....
IT's bigger, less labor, cheaper and you could just put a Type S or R head on there for true I-Vtec......
I can't believe I am the first to mention this to him......thought someone would have said it already

Rep Power: 0 first of all let me start off by saying that the drug references 
that i see every now and then, i.m.o., can go. any ways on to whats really important in life: our cars. i am really curious as to what law says that it is illegal to swap an older engine into a newer car. i do not know the statutes as well as i should, but i cant seem to figure out how, why, and who made this illegal? second, does anybody know of any websites out there specifically for the '99-'00 civic si?
