Biggest motor put into a Wagon with little to no modifications?

Hello all, yesterday on a drive to bestbuy my motor kicked the bucket. I haven't had a chance to see what the extent of the damage or know if its salvageable. I did quick forum search and didn't really find anything on what I'm looking for.

Now here is my question. What is the biggest motor that can squeeze into a 89 wagon with little to no body mods. My wagon currently has a b18 and CL engines around here range from 1.5 to 3.0 leter motors. Any help would be appreciated. I'm fairly new to Hondas and am excited to start really working on this car.

I've been working on Honda motorcycles and quads my whole life so I'm not totally mechanacially inept.

Thanks, Anthony

    Have a search, its been covered many times.

    Biggest motor you can put in without modifying anything over what has already been modified to fit the B18 is a B20. H22 needs a lot of mods, Kseries need a lot of mods, J30a etc need so many mods nobody has done it to a wagon yet

    Thanks a ton for replying so soon. I'm going to look for replacements today after work. I would like to see the j30 in a wagon. I think those are the same motors that people use in sand rails.
