You should also consider ordering a used motor online from some of the major engine importers like HmotorsOnline.com. They import motors from Japan and have some USDM engines as well. The motors are salvaged from wrecked cars, and those that fail their strict emissions tests. A lot of Honda tuners go this route, with a lot of happy customers. The motors are usually low mileage. The best part, you get Honda quality and good value. You can get a 3 stage VTEC motor for under $700. These are the "super economy" motors that have lean burn like a VX, but HP like an EX. If I had to do it again, I would go this route. Just order the ECU with the motor, use your VX transmission, and you've got a fun car.
