Check out http://www.hmotorsonline.com I've heard a lot of good things about them. I haven't personally used them (yet 
). They have a pretty good selection and i've heard about motors coming about a week or so after being ordered.

dude i dunno, if i were getting a motor i would just find one from someone you know cause from those sites you never know what the motor went through before you got it
i mean i havent bought a motor off a site, but kudos to people who have and its worked out

they ship them on wood pallets and i'd say it would take at least a week to be delivered

That sounds about right. I got lucky, i'm local so i was able to just drive a truck over there and pick it up and pick up a few misc. parts lying around their warehouse.
but if you're not local but you don't mind driving to one side of the country, then go ahead and pick it up in person.

Re: lookin for a b18c1(who's the best to get one from?) (Screwtape:)
i heard http://www.Hmotorsonline.com was very good and reputable and I was going to get my motor from them...
I was looking for a usdm b18c1, and callled them 2-3 times a week for 3 weeks straight with no luck finding a b18c1..
At the same time I was calling http://www.ImportAutoSalvage.com and found my motor within a week and a half..... It took 3 weeks for me to recieve my motor with all the nessary mounts to drop into my ek hatch. It woulda only taken 2, but one of thier mechanics was sick or something.... Motor came with everything needed and all nuts and bolts... It even came with some lug nutz... lolz
I can vouch for IAS... ask for Randy... He's the man....
When my dumb *** thought I Had the wrong mount.. I called randy and he offered to ship out the mount next day air since I needed my car running asap.... He calls back an hour later and asks me how many holes the mount has and comfirms i have the right mount and told me how it goes.... He even offered to help me with any technical stuff on the swap...
IAS gets two
hmotors gets a
can't go wrong with niether.
