Default Question on GSR swap

Hey guys I'm being offered 2 engines for slightly different price but can't decide which one is better for the buck. Choice one: jdmsource approxly 50km in engine all in included 3200$ and my friend would install it. I'll be giving him my d16z6 + some cash. Choice two: 90km GSR with itr cams, DC header and I think aftermarket intake manifold 4000$ for this installed. I can't decidewhether this mode are worth the difference in price or not. I always liked to start stock and do my own thing. What you think?

the gsr with 90km probably burns more oil than the stock gsr from jdmsource with 50km. for a few extra hundred dollars you could add the cams, header and intake manifold. the motor with 90km has probably been beaten on and will most likely need a rebuild very soon. you should replace the t-belt and water pump on either just cause of the age though. i would go with the motor from jdmsource. maybe try giving them a call and get it for cheaper, that's how i got my b16 swap from hmotors years ago.

yeah i been thinking about the same option too. For now all i want is the motor. ill worry about the other mods later on. the itr cams is something i would like to keep but the rest dont matter. besides i didnt want the dc header. i been looking to one called smsp that seems to be much better. ill keep it N/A forever. the intake manifold, not sure prbly is a good thing but not really my concern. im going from d to b and thats all i care about
