To good of a deal?
Thinkin about doing an engine swap for a SOHC to a b18c5. I found one on ebay for $2500 which was sold. I emailed the seller and he has more for 2500. It is everythin needed for a complete swap. He said it had 10000 miles and in excellent condition. Does this seem too cheap?

Re: To good of a deal? (Pho Real)
??? When i ordered my B20. I first asked for B16.. they were out. But price on B16 package was 2300. Then tried B18c. That would have been 2700 w/o mounts. Ended up with B20b, with GSR tranny for 2200...

$2500 seems too low. It's probably a JDM B18C-R. I don't understand how some people are selling for $2500 when they go for about 2 grand more. Something does seem fishy.

Re: To good of a deal? (awalk2005)
I thought 2500 seemed a little low too. Do u think a b18c5 is worth the money or should i think about something cheaper like a b16a2? What kind of 1/4 mi times will a stock b18c5 and b16a2 run in a 99 civic ex?

Re: To good of a deal? (Eyewitness)
I love the B18C5 and highly recommend it. I think the best thing would be try and get a ride in one, go to local get togethers, etc. Expect to pay a good amount for it though, ALOT more than 2500 at least. Dont even waste your time finding out if that deal is real.
