Default is this a good deal?

Im getting a jdm b16a with a gsr trans for 1400. the swap doesnt include a dizzy, the axles, or the ecu but it was just rebuilt about four months ago so there arent that many miles on it. I thought this was a little pricey but my motor just recently died on me and i have been goin crazy trying to find a new motor to put in and need one to get my car back on the road so i can get to work.

but what happens when this motor blows 3 weekes into owning it and the dude won't return your calls???
learn on a single cam because you have everything you need...so all you have to buy is a longblock...then piece together a turbo kit and you will have little to no down time
