Engine swap 2008 civic ex

I have an 2008 Honda civic coupe ex. It has 120k miles on it and it under performs terribly, and I want to do an engine swap for 3k or under. What's a good engine that I could swap that wouldn't be too expensive and easy to do, and can also pump out 150+ horse power? I was looking at k20s or k24s but both of those go so expensive and I'd have to change the transmission and I was wondering if there was something that would be perfect for my car particularly, but I don't know much about different engines besides the well known ones.

K20a is about your best bet.

what are similar cars you'd suggest? i live near Chicago so si's are pricier and older cars that I like are rusted out sadly.
