TRANSPLANT FTW

lets face it, teh engines getting old and im sure re building it would be great and everything, but nothing beats more power,
look into b series or if you got that dollar dollar bill maybe even k.

hey transplant ftw... bang for buck, especially in the B16B and B18CR

B16B you could later upgrade with a stroker kit+cams+pulleys+waterpump+head
to become a B18... they have the same block... either or, when its only $300
difference i know where id be starting

JDM B16A can probly pick up for - $2.5k to 4k depends on whether u get a front cut
or just the motor+box+shafts
or just a motor for like 1.5k... up to you...

JDM EK9 B16B CONVERSION PARTS - $6500 - 7k

JDM DC2 98 SPEC B18CR CONVERSION PARTS - $6900 - 7.5k

not including install costs, DIY ftw.... prices may have varied, do your research

goodluck

just drive it till it dies. but if you are looking for some more grant, definitely do an engine conversion.
