No not worth it IMO. I wouldnt like buying a car with a swap done already. Who knows the history of the car. Thats 80,000 on the motor, but how many on the body? Go to http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com Upload the pics and click this and insert the link inbetween the lines.

the exterior looks good, but a b17?

b17 is a gsr motor, so it's worth at least 2500 if it is in good condition
worth about 4500 i say

i'm sorry but a 10+ year old engine isn't that tempting or possibly reliable unless it's built well. i'm sticking to $4000 max.

You could easily buy a nice EJ for that money.

I would think that is worth about 5k honestly

If you do end up getting it and you are looking to get rid of the engine, please let me know

I wouldn't come close to that price either. The car looks nice but it's not like it has a B18C5 in it or something else ultra rare to make it worth the price. I paid 2000 for my B16 powered hatch with only minimal rust and a perfect interior plus clean swap and no CEL. I would hold out man, look for something cheaper.

EJ is a USDM 96-00 HONDA Civic

For instance, my '97 hatch is EJ6 (all CX/DX/LX)
My friends '97 coupe is EJ8 (all EX)

if it was a b18c1 or c5 in there, I'd say it's worth that much.
