Default Where do I find a good Ls motor for my civic?

I have a 95 Civic dx 5-spd that has 215,000 miles on it and is starting to sue fluids way too much so I wanna get an LS motor to replace the stock one. any ideas where to find good ones and who to trust or not??

What are the goals for your car?

If it's for daily driving only without performance, I would suggest just replacing it with another D-Series.

Yeah, hmotors does have a really good reputation, definitely an option. I would check locally too though, as it would cost an arm and a leg to get one of those motors shipped here to NC from Cali.
