To be honest, 5g is way out of that car's pricerange. Even in mint condition, the car itself is only worth about 2g's. It's also a not-so-popular model. It does not have any motor modifications to speak of. It has a decent amount of miles on it for it's age. It would make a great daily driver. - The body modifications lower the value of the car in the real world. Cosmetic upgrades only bring up a car's sentimental value. So, I would say if you _really_ love your car. Keep it. If you don't. Visit www.kbb.com - kelly blue book. That would be the max you could sell that car for, unless you found an idiot.

Dipping into my very distant Honda past... I think the b16 was a much easier swap into your chassis. I vaguely remember the b18c having extra complications. You should probably search the Honda forum for a more knowledgeable answer.
It's a wooden pickle.

anything with a cable transmission will be technically plug and play with the right mounts... any hydro transmission will require custom (or hasport) mounts plus extensive rewiring.

if i was you i would go straight to lake seminole, drive down the boat ramp doing 30 mph, swim to shore, leave, report it stolen, collect insurance money.
