Default b16a2 swap question

I right now have a 92 civic Si with the normal d16z6 in it, and I was looking around online and found a b16a2 for $2,499.00 USD is that a good price for that engine? I have never really done an engine swap before so Im not use if that is a good price or not. it comes with
Included in the package price:
Complete JDM Engine
JDM ECU - P30 Computer
JDM Transmission
( Manual Transmission (5 speed) with clutch)
Brand NEW Yonaka intermediate shaft (half shaft)
Brand NEW Yonaka JDM 4-1 ITR Header mild black steel
Brand NEW set of Motor mounts

is that all I well need to do the swap?

any advice will help thanks.

Find yourself a b18 LS motor, you can find these dirt cheap like 400 bucks, spend another 200 for a tranny, boost that and you would have yourself one hell of a street car. You could have a turboed LS motor for less than 3 grand if you shop around and take your time peiceing parts together. Take a few days to just search through this website on what people have done with the LS, throw some PMs out to people selling LS motor/parts in the market place and I promise you will be much happyer than stickin with the D-series.

obviously boosting a B-series is better than boosting a D, but 1: boosting a D, that you already have is gonna be cheaper than build a LS block......2: its the ***gots that have B16 with I/H/E that bother me, cuz they think there fast lol
