What kind of engine swap are you looking to do? The older model Honda engines are easier to fit, they're as close to a bolt-in as you can get. If you're looking to swap in a later model fuel injected motor, you're going to need custom mounts, customized wiring harnesses, custom fuel lines, etc. It depends on your skill level and how much time you're willing to devote to the project.
