Default best swap? b16, b18, or zc

so what do you think, i am in the process of buying two engines. a b18 for $600 or an easier zc swap for $500, but do not know which one to decide. just wanted to hear some of your opinions and thoughts on price, speed, and easiness of swap. have fun

you might want to say what kind of car you are putting it in. but im pretty sure the b18 is going to be the best bet.

zc= ~130 hp
b18a= ~140 hp

zc is the predecessor to the b18. Go with a b18...

I have a b16 in my crx and im actually very satisfied with it..big step up from the d-series motors ive had. More torque and it pulls very very strong
