someone is selling a 98 gsr swap with 71000 miles. this is in the bay area. how much should l pay for it? this is going into a 2000 hatch.

 

full swap with no shipping involved?

if it's full...engine/trans/ecu/linkage/axles/harness etc...i'd prolly pay 2800-3200 tops...check the compression make sure it's a strong motor if possible

 

if you're going to get the swap, go ahead and call mahdavi motorsports in georgia or king motorsports to get an ecu harness jumper so you can use the gsr ecu. mine from mahdavi cost i think 245 shipped. you won't be able to use the gsr's harness or even one from a 96-98 civic. i know, i tried. just be sure you tell them everything about the motor and car it's going into so you get the right harness. it might take a while to get to you. mine was on hold for backordered parts for like 2 months. but your stock ecu should power the motor for a while if that happens. i was runnin mine on a stock EX ecu for 4 months. But good luck with your swap if you get the motor.
BTW, i paid 2600 for motor, tranny, ecu, axles, shift linkage...even had power steering and a/c compressor.
