$1700 is too much for that car in my opinion, unless it was absolutely mint in and out..
If you're wanting to boost it, I'd swap in a B18B if the B18A is toast..that was the plan for my old Civic before I traded it for my 240.
The best way to learn is research (!) and then get your hands dirty by doing the work yourself.
If you're really lost then have someone who knows a thing or two give you a hand but try to get as much hands-on experience as possible.
I watched people do engine swaps before but it wasn't until I did my own on my S13 that I really started to understand how things worked and went together.

Oh, and welcome to the site!

yeah bro u may as well buy a shell then u wont have the problem of taking out the engine, u can just throw a new one in, plus a shell would give u another k to spend on the engine

This is what I'd recommend. Should be able to find one in good shape for around a grand or less.
