The D16y8 is commony found used in yards, or on ebay. Some companies re-build them and sell for $1200. Honestly, I'd try to find a used one with a start up warranty.

$1000 for a D16Y8 longblock and tranny? I sold my COMPLETE motor swap for $520.. I think I'd rather buy 3 longblocks and have two blow than spend $1000 on one..

I'd look some up on Craigslist. Just check under the valve cover, oil pan, behind the exhaust/intake manifolds, and make sure it cranks.

hmotorsonline comes highly recommended from lots of people.

Just don't buy a GSR swap from them, completely over priced.

So many people say these motors are a dime-a-dozen, but REPUTABLE companies that offer a warranty don't give them away, no sir.

A private sale will always be a gamble.

I blame the B18C fanboys for driving up the JDM prices!

I had planned on purchasing one to boost about a year ago, sat on a waiting list 18 people deep for about 9 months and said F that, during that time their price doubled...

This thread topic lacks tech.
