Would anyone recommend something better to swap it with since I am going to have it out anyway .. ... any recommendations ? Thanks

I use this car for normal use.. home-work-home..
What year/ model b18b would be a good choice? do I need to replace the transmission as well...

There are ways to mate the D transmission to B series engines and vice versa. But it's a pain and expensive. Besides B trannys are better than Ds.
