First swap in my 92 VX back in 2000 - 1999 USDM B18C1 with verified 13K miles from a salvage yard in Topeka, KS. Paid $3750 shipped for the full swap and installed it myself. I received EVERYTHING and I do mean everything plus a full cabin harness and OBD1 P72 ECU from another 95 GSR. That was shipped right to my door. It might seem like a lot to some, but it was worth every penny! Only 33K on it to date and after all the abuse it still looks and runs as new as it did when I first put it in.

Bought a complete 97 LS swap (engine, trans, linkage, mounts, harness, ecu) from a local for $1100. Picked up an alternator on H-T for additional $50.

Sold Teg mounts/linkage, got 99 Si mounts linkage for my EK with proceeds...worked out even!

Traded LS trans for 2 broke GSR trannies, rebuilt one good GSR from the 2.

So in the end I got B18B w/GSR tranny complete swap for $1150

Got a free gsr motor from some guy whose cams/cam caps/valve cover were stolen, bought cam caps from honda-tech for $100, cracked transmission from honda-acura.net for $350, autozone axles $100/both, shift linkage from team-integra.com $40, I had all the other parts laying around my shop. Total cost for B18C1 swap $590, then I tore the motor down and put another $3000 into it.
