You can get JDM B18A/B longblocks for about that from nippon motors. You can get JDM B16 longblock for $475 though from jdmhondaparts.com.

The low miles helps so the $800 isn't too bad (at least in my area). You could find an older one cheaper I bet. It all depends on if you plan to build the engine or just swap it in as is. IMO Pricing would differ alot depending on the area of the country, I'm not familar with Texas.

As is - low milage LS
Build it - higher milage, cheaper LS

Well, I don't have good long distance so how do you know there are no JDM b18a/b. I've never actually seen one, but have heard they exist.

Strait from some old Honda technical articals....

"B series - This family also had a 1.8-L version, the standard unit for the U.S. Integra, and in DOHC, 16-valve, non-VTEC form it powers the Japanese-market-only Domani sedan. The B18A, 1834-cc unit has a long stroke of 89 mm and 81-mm bore"

Hence a JDM B18A

i've seen complete ls changeovers sell for 800 bucks. So IMO 800 is way too high.

$800 sounds a little too high, but just hassle them to lower it a bit. 20K is very low mileage. What part of Texas are you from?
