Default buy complete changeover or buy parts by part?

I'm trying to decide what to do, my plans are to drop in H22 this fall a dream project i have been long waiting for, plus i miss the ol H22A.

the question im asking is will i be better off getting the complete changeover JDM H22A which has motor, trans, ecu, wires, intake and blah blah.. or get long block motor within next month or 2 and trans the other month, then part by part like ecu, wire harness, clutch, flywheel, etc?

which should i go with?

car which this engine is going in is my 95 civic hatch

You are asking to get screwed if you buy part by part.

I suggest buying a complete swap so you don't nickel & dime yourself to death.
If your interested i'm selling a complete K20A2 swap, low mileage and more important low price.
E-mail me or PM me for more info.

another question, what is the grand total i would need to spend? lets say i already have the complete changeover.

I will be doing all the work by myself with some help from couple friends. I have air tools, several tools, dremel tool, but no welder.
