actually they can all be kept but it involves more money and some ingenuity.
and you can find the engine for $2500. but are you isntalling it yourself? cuz if not its going to cost you another $1000 to have it installed.
is your suspension ready to handle the extra weight and power? if not look to spend more money there - at least $800.

still find that swap to be cheapest? oh and axle breakage is another problem you'll encounter im sure more than once.
my friend with an H22A civic EX broke his custom made axles already.
so you want to spend $2k for an engine and transmission swap eh? save your pennies until you can spend about $3k-$4k w/o worrying about it - you'll be happier in the long run imo.
