I have a 97 civic lx, and I plan on keeping my civic for as long as i can, but i want to swap the motor, or maybe rebuild it, but everyone says that a D16y7 isnt worth rebuilding. So I was thinking another motor, maybe a D16y8, or what i prefer a LS.

I don't know where to even begin, but I dont want to do the swap, what shops do swaps? And I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SPEED OR PERFORMANCE! I want a nice fresh motor with A/C. Someone help please, or advice, please.

And again I'm not looking for speed, etc etc, just a new reliable motor with simple bolt ons.

Help please.
