so they quoted me 750 for motor then 138 for shipping to the shop. the good thing about them is that its a 6000 mile or 6 month warranty as with the shop it was only a 100 day warranty.. the shops also charging me 800 to install. I found a motor for 450 from a dismantler out here that also comes with 100 day warranty but they have no idea how many miles are on it. Wish I had the tools and everything to do this myself

I live in cali and to get anything barred is a bitch.. Plus I dont know a lot about swapping and i doubt the shop will swap it for me so thats kind of out of the question for now. I wish I could though

i don't think ive ever paid over 500 for a d series motor. hell i just picked up a bare k24 no accessories or anything for 550. paying for shipping sucks your better off looking for something local and picking it up. swapping this yourself would be your best bet even though most warrantys may be voided. goodluck

Yeah...non-vtec d? 1000? No way.
There's so many more options.
Swapping a d isn't really a big deal either...especially if you're getting an exact replacement and not going from non-vtec to v-tec or something. Just color code everything on the engine side...and the harness/vac and coolant line side...and everything else there's really only one place you can put it...i.e. axles etc.
1000 should be like a complete d-series setup to include transmission, new axles, ecu, harness...all kinds of goodies. What all is included in it?

I have a low milage D if you want it pay shipping and you can have it. I will even put it on a pallet and drop it off at a shipping place for you.

I would say to buy a used motor off Craigslist or HT from a legit seller and just forget about the mileage. You should be able to find a D16y7 or y8 for around $500 for the complete swap...yes, I have seen them for this price.
If you had the tools and the space I would suggest finding a 97-00 donor car and sell the parts you dont need. I did that with a 98 GSR and ended up getting my perfectly good swap for $1k

D16y8 = Vtec motor.
I bought mine off a seller on craigslist that still had it in his Del Sol. checked it out and he started it up. ran fresh. bought it next day and installed it myself.
I: Removed my old motor and tranny, unbolted the tranny, swapped a few sensors, changed the engine harness and plugged it in, hooked up the tranny, put everything in the car and had it running in 6 hours.
where in cali do you live? maybe i can help out

I ended up just giving in and buying a motor for 700$ kind of steep but 2 weeks without a car is no good so I just went for it. Should have it up and running by sunday. Thanks for all the help
