If you are going to buy a b18b then why not go to a junkyard and pick one up for half that price?

you could find an ls swap for cheaper but that one looks really clean.

That isn't a good buy. You still need linkage and axles, as well as wiring. Plus shipping you are looking at over $2K for a B18B swap. I could get you a B16 swap for less (I'm doing it right now).

I would recommend just not doing a swap but just getting a turbo kit for whatever motor you have now.
