if i were u, i'd check the local junkyards/dismantlers. they give u a good deal, with a 90 day warranty (most of them do anyways), and its legit. also, u can let the car run and hear how it runs and do whatever u need to do before u buy it. they're they're no more than 1500 at junkyards. places i've gone to around around 1000 for a complete swap, and i mean COMPLETE.

They tend to leave out a bunch of the small **** though.

well honestly, it does vary where u go. i went to a russian place 2 weeks ago and they said 4000! i was like wtf.. 1 block down from there i got a quote for 1000. i've searched a lot of areas from modesto to sac town... lowest i got was 900. highest i got was 4000! so it depends. also depends on year of motor. i was asking for 96 and up... 94/95 should be a bit cheaper. but yeah, best bet is look around local junkyards.. its cheaper..

um yes 96up are obd2. thats what i was looking for. i had a 96. and yes 96 and up cost more cause they have less mileage on them. i'll buy a 01 over a 94/95 any day..
