I wouldn't bid anything. I would get your motor from http://www.hmotorsonline.com. I have heard nothing but good things from them.

I DEFINATLEY wouldn't do a thing unless this fool had a bunch of valid receipts and i could see the motor first. Why would you have 1000cc injectors on stock internals!?!?

Buying motors, in general is never a safe bet. With that being said, I would stick with a company that has a good reputation; meaning others who have purchased motors from them have had good experiance.

Exactly. This is always the case, you never knew how someone treated it. Unless you decide to tear the whole thing apart. From what I previously said, buy from a seller who consistantly has a good reputation.

He wants $4000 for a b16a? Does that include the turbo? Despite he has a lot of extra parts on that engine. There is no way I'd pay $4000 for a b16a. I'd take the GS-R, or even an h22a. Walk away. You can get a full GS-R swap for right around $3000.

It's definitely faster. But again, do you know the condition of the motor? I would get a compression test/leakdown test before you spend a dime on that thing.
