Easy engine swap

[Doug the Bug]

I am looking to buy a 1988 FC with a seized 13B engine. The car has not been started for 26 years so I assume it is seized . Does anyone know a good JDM engine that would be an easy swap? I am not looking for super horsepower, but for something that would be easily swapped in and upgradable when I have the funds.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions you guys have!

Another 13b is the obvious answer here?

Easy JDM piston swap?   Not sure, it’s a less common option for most.

Thanks Digitalsolo, it is my first car and my Dad's first engine swap. I thought a smaller lighter engine might be the better way to go. I am not looking for crazy horsepower, but something that can be my daily diver and upgrade gradually.

You won’t get anywhere near the support and off the shelf solutions for anything but LS engines.

A 5.3 with a 4 speed auto (4L60e) is by orders of magnitude the simplest solution for swaps.    Reckon 80-100 hours of labor if it's your first time, and roughly 4500-5000 dollars in parts.   If you're handy with fabrication and wiring you can lower that appreciably.

Beyond that, putting a healthy rotary in is definitely the easiest.

Thanks for the options guys. I'll let you know what I decide!
