Icon2 Fully Built B18C1 or Keep B18C1 CRX

Hello everyone. Just wanted to get your opinion on this trade. I have a gsr swapped crx with ys1 tranny currently running in good shape. About 70k on the motor. Shell is crappy but is complete.

I was offered a fully built (bottom to top except sleeves) trade for my crx. The motor consists of:
P72 98 Integra gsr head;
Chrome Valve Cover
Titanium keepers and retainers
Bronze Valve Guides
Stainless Steel Valves
Factory Cam Gears
Engine Dampener Shock
Tubular T3 turbo manifold

P72 1998 GSR USDM B18C1
Arias 8:1 pistons
Eagle H beam Rods
Blox Block Guard
ARP Fasteners
ARP Head Studs
Factory Crankshaft
Stage 4 Clutch Still Attached
Dizzy Needs rotor but it is there
Intake Manifold is factory and needs to be re attached I had a skunk 2 on there
No Throttle body - sold with aftermarket intake
Timing covers could use to be replaced and the motor mount behind the covers is stripped out. That's why I used the dampener shock. Worked Great.

What is your opinion on this trade? Any experience with this kind of thing? If i do it i will take it apart and have the block sleeved for high boost.

Yes or No?

Sent me all receipts and proof of shop build. About 2700 worth of parts and labor. I planned on building my gsr anyway. We will be meeting saturday so my tuner and I can inspect further. Feeling confident about it but i will decide saturday. I'll let you guys know. Going to make the best decision I can. thanks for the input guys.

I don't know how or why you would even consider. I personally would never trade for something someone else "built", that is unless all of those things are still in their original package and the engine needs to be put together

Save your time and money. Work on your current chassis or locate a better chassis and swap your parts to it.

Yeah. If you are taking it apart to sleeve it I would just use your motor you have now. You'll spend more on a good chassis than you would on pistons and rods, which is basically the difference here. I wouldn't swap a motor and a chassis for the same motor with modifications.
