Default swap problem

Im planning on getting a GSR swap but i had originally planned on purchasing the motor from Hmotorsonline for 3200. Now the shop thats doing the install says that I should let them get me the motor from one of their sources in VA (noyan something) for 3800 so i wont have to wurry about shipping. That sounds good and all but the only problem is that for 3800 all im getting is the motor, trans and ECU so I would still need to buy all that other things which woul boost the price to 4 grand something, and i still have to pay 1300 for install. With Hmotors online all im going to have to do is buy the SI motor mounts and the OBD2 TO OBD2B wire harness but I will have to get it shipped. I havent heard too many bad things about them so I was wondering if it is worth taking the risk and saving a couple hundred bucks buying from Hmotorsonline.

I would go with Hmotor because they stand behind their motors and you don't know about the motor that the shop is getting. I would think that the shop would get a good motor but you never know.


BTW: why don't you do the swap yourself and save $1300? It is a pretty straight forward swap.
