gsr's are easier swaps. sure an h22 may cost less, but the price difference is made up when you have to start buying mounts, axles, etc. needed for the h22 swap. plus there's more aftermarket support for the b series than h.

dont just throw in an aftermarket motor... buy a used one and build the hell out of it (rods, pistons, port& polish, bore, lighter crank, etc) for best results
