HMOTORSONLINE! my friend's b20b was minty when he got it. They are a very good company, and many many people on here as well as other sites will agree.

hmo is the best place to buy the motors, ive always bought from steve and kingmotorsports gets their motors from hmo for their builds and its easy to just clean up the motor and plus those motors have been sitting their for a while so of course their not gonna be prestine when you get the swap but change the timing belt and water pump and even run seafoam through the motor and itll be good to go

check your local areas for shops that are selling motors.. that way you can just go and pick them up and actually see it in person before you buy. Thats how I always purchased my motors from now on. I went to hmo in person when I went to pick out my gsr. It was rip off in my opinion but it was clean. However, get a pressure washer and you can make it as clean as theirs

If you are on the East Coast, call Larry Jr. and Randy at www.importautosalvage.com. They are very legit and family run business based out of Marion, NC. Been selling vtec swaps for a very long time. I bought mine back in 2000.
