If you have never done it before I would say no, unless you have a lot of time and help that your car will be down. I would say sell the car, and depending on your credit/parent's willingness to help, you could buy a mid to late 90s accord or a nice Si for anywhere between 7,500 and 10,000. If you can't swing any of that, just keep the car and save. That engine can run up to 300k miles. I had a 95 Civic that got wrecked at 155k and had absolutely no problems. Good luck with w/e you decide to do. Odds are if you have enough money for the swap, you'll have enough money for a new car.
