B16A assembled shortblock - ctr pist 10.8:1 compression- eagle rods -new waterpump $700



with all the other parts i would need to buy, do you think id be better off just buying an entire GSR swap for about $3k maybe slightly less?

 

The internals make it worth it, but when you try to piece stuff together it never works out well.

 

$700 block
$500 Head
$750-$1k tranny
$150-$200 ECU
$150 Axles
$100 shift linkage
$300-$500 misc.
= one big *** headache trying to find everything. Plus it's still only a 1.6L. Trust me go 1.8L if you are staying all motor. Just my .02 cents

 

its worth it if you have all the other parts to it, but if you dont than dont even bother with it cause it'll cost you a lot of $$ in the long run

 

no, mostly because that is not a complete shortblock.

 

Ok thanks guys. This is my first swap of anykind and ive heard of people buying stuff like this and getting a much better deal, but i guess for a 1st timer its probably not the best idea in the world. Im just hoping im goin to have the $$ to do this soon.

 

How is that not a complete shorty ?[

 

go with the GSR Swap - complete

 

I think i will...I mean the guy selling goes to Clemson as well, and i know him and stuff, and he said he'd assemble the engine when i got the parts and such, but if its goin to be more than a c1 then i dont see a point really.
i wish i could just get alot of money RIGHT NOW! i hate having to save.

 

You will never find a complete GSR swap for less than 3k us. It's more like 3300-3800us.

 

Ya better off getting a complete swap. Only reason to get this block is if you already have an existing b16a swap and you threw out a rod busting the cylinder wall. Its hard to piece together a swap, too much of a and costs more in the end.

 

I got my GSR swap for $3500 installed and out the door.
I had it done at l4imports in Yuba City, California.

 

gsr all the way but yea you'll be lookin' at a decent chunk of change. getting one done this weekend if everything goes right , will end up costing me about 3800.
that includes a vafc install and tuning shizzzeennn'..

go me...

 

Missing..
Watertube
thermostat housing
oil catch can

 

nice clean block

 

im fairly positive i can get it at atleast $3k....but more than likely less. Thats what u get when ur boy sells ths ****. Too bad he is only slingin parts and not able to actually do ****!
