142WHP sounds right. $6k sounds low. But whatever. GSR trans sucks *** for that engine, though. The ratios are gonna be way too high for the B16A.

 

yeah is a compression check the only way to check if the motor is still healthy?? besides it shaking, smoking out the back, and pulling hard and that kinda stuff.. thanks

 

compression and leakdown test at minimum.
