Default anyone purchased a b18c5 from honda motors online?

i am going to drop a b18c5 in my civic and was looking for a low milage swap i read the pole and honda motors online had what i wanted, i just question the quality of the motor with less than 17,000 miles on it for only $4800. i would appreciate if anyone that has had experience with them get back to me and let me know if i am going to get screwed or not.......thanks

good luck getting a b18c5 from them (thats a USDM motor btw)

He has the JDM B18C R's for 4800 but when I called about the USDM B18c5 he said when he has them he wants 5500-6500 for them.

I just got a 99 JDM ITR motor from them. I would recommend them with out a doubt. The price $4800 is for the 96 or 97 models. The 98 up spec are more money.

Tell him that Shawn from Sound Buys sent you.

With all these crazy prices, I assume you guys are talking about a full swap, right? That is, motor, ecu, tranny....

Not just the engine....
