Does this sound good for a B18C (JDM) price wise?
The guy across the street from me has a obd2 B18C he wants to sell me for $500
I just inspected the external parts of the motor and everything looks okay. I tured the crank puley and it felt fine. The only problem is that it is pretty much a head and block only. It has an IM and thats about it.
Here is the list of missing stuff:
Header
Alternator
Distributor
Plug wires
Water Pump
Timing belt
Throttle Body
A couple sensors on the back of teh IM (not too sure what they are)
Trans and flywheel
Power steering pump
Wiring harness
I pulled the Valve cover and everything looked OK. No marks on the cam lobes. No residue or anything.
Does this sound good so far?
I am going to pull the head nad look at it more thorough (sp.)

which proves nothing.... the intake manifold would be a big clue, but your best bet is to check the lettering on the head.
$500 sounds like a reasonable price for a compelte head and block in good condition. especially if you want to build it on your own.

If the block says B18c1 its a gsr if it says B18c5 its a type-r

JDM motors do not have numbers after the C. It will read just B18C.

Re: Does this sound good for a B18C (boo bees)
Well, I finally bought the motor, and am happy with it. I tore apart the head and block, and everything looks great. The motor can't have but 40,xxx mile on it. I paid 500 bucks for pretty much a short block. Was this a good buy?
