Have a 1998 chevy metro Lsi that I want to do an engine swap in. Any ideas as to what engine would be easiest to drop in? Preferably Honda, but open to ideas....

Suzuki J20 or J24. The J24 from a Kizashi is a beast of a motor.
Get the trans, you'll need it.
There's a lot of low-mileage Suzuki J-engines sitting in the junkyards around me because of broken cam or crank sensors.
It'd definitely be an interesting choice.
In reply to Zomby Woof:
So basically an FWD SX4 engine and trans, probably with preference to the 5 speed as the 6 speed doesn't have the nicest shift quality (and I don't really like the ratio spread down low) and then maybe a Megasquirt with a cable operated throttle body (because the SX4 electro-TB sucks to actually use)?
Would any of the 60° V6s in the family fit? I've seen the 90° in a Cavalier several times, never paid close attention to a metro, but would you have to remove much sheet metal for either?
Just how crazy do you want to get? 
i vote for a get the front subframe from a Pontiac GTP with the S/C 3800 and add a fiero 5 speed then mount it into the back for the unibody. just some cutting and welding involved.

You and the rest of your peanut gallery. 
I know.... I've been busting my butt trying to get the shop finished. The Firefly needs to move in before the snow flies, but I'm still final mudding the ceiling and walls....
