Talking ideas ideas

So, today i got to thinking, i want a new car, actually, i want an SUV and a project car. so ive almost decided, sell the Cl, buy my dads blazer for cheap, and buy a del sol. so i have a few engine ideas and ide like some input on this.

1. a K20 swap(found motor mounts, but EXPENSIVE ASS MOTOR)
2. a H22 swap(motor mounts found)
3. a B18 swap

any input, the best motor in my opinion is the k20, but its like 6 g's for the swap and thats ridiculous lol.
input is welcome thanks

dont sell the CL thats not even funny...

no offence or anything but i hate Del Sols with a passion, one pulled up a light with a big ass aluminum spoiler, a grey hood and it was stock i just started laughing and the guy tried to act all tuff and was like "yo guy, whats so funny" and i was like "what do you think" then i took off...

anyways if you must get the del sol i say put in the b20

super light? del sols are super heavy. they weigh close to your cl. and nissan transmissions are close to indestructable. their weak link is the input shaft. you know breaking at around 550 hp to the wheels. k20's are expensive but have so much potential. worth it to me.

If you want a motor to build and willing to spend a good amount go with the H22 or K20. If you want stock power H22 or K20. I was at the National Honda/ Acura Day Event on saturday but man was I disappointed. No real H22 with balls. All B18s. Very very disappointed.

You can throw a B18 in the rear of a Del sol and take the motor out of the front

if u really wanna look into this. GO TO www.honda-tech.com and search for the motor u want to swap in. IT HAS EVERYTHING u need to know about motor swaps, b series, h series... everything. Honda-tech is one of the top sites in the world. Ur not going to find info about engines on this site, unless it's about swapping it into a CL. Go to Hondatech.
