What do you mean by "legit" engine swap? Like as in, not stolen?

That engine came from a 1993 Honda Civic SiR

It's legit.


Probably too legit.


To legit to quit.


Buy it, stick it in your car, then drive your POS Honda off of a cliff or take it to a junkyard where it belongs.

I think he is saying Legit in the urban dictionary sense, meaning: cool; kewl; ill; tight; dope; kicking; forizzal; slamming; money; killer;

"I guessing wat do I have on my hands is it something good" no way to tell, engine is a B16a, engine ID stamp says so, but it could easily be a piece of scrap metal.

Does it run?
Have you done a compression test on it?
Does it smoke out of the tail pipe|?
Any ugly noises from the engine?
How many miles on the engine?
What condition is it in, cosmetically?
And so on and so on. 94
