Default is this swap worth it?

i am trying to buy a single-cam setup to replace my own combo...for a stock d16, and everything needed to install it with the exception of an alternator and a starter and motor mounts, is 800$ worth it?

I wouldn't unless you need your car back to get to work or dd. Cause you can get an ls swap for a 1,000 from a junk yard

nvm its cool, i figured it all out. My original problem was that I have an LS now but its having a lot of problems, massive oil burning included, and my GSR trans is also starting to go bad. I wanted to sell both and revert back to single cam for awhile, but I decided to keep my setup for a while until I have enough money for a complete new swap. Besides, I found a complete setup for a D16y6 (SOHC VTEC) for 700, which included mounts, starter, and alternator> I basically told that guy to f*** off with that price
