they swapped it because originally it probably came with a single cam motor. they wanted more power, so they went dual cam.
clean car, you should check it out! take a buddy with you who has experiance with hondas

Your Car will never pass smog with the B20 in it. B20 is for the CR-V, and Calif. will not allow BAR. you'll have to swap the motor for a stock or B16A2 (USDM)

That price seems WAY low for a car that clean... You never know until you check it out though...

Seems like an OK price to me. Engine swaps aren't always trustworthy, so the price really doesn't shoot up.

looks like it's worth it from the out side but check it out first, and bring someone who knows, about honda's/motors, you don't want to get ripped off. not saying that you don't know anything about them.
