Default i want to make this swap/trade, am i getting a good deal???

currently i have a 99 B16A2 block with 99 GSR head in my 1999 Integra (i dont know what kind of tranny i have)

this guy on HT wants to trade me his entire built GSR motor for my motor +800 bucks...here is his thread about how built his GSR block is

Ok few things. One check how far he decked the head (this could pose major issues down the line.) Two, he claims it is at about 12.9:1 compression. If this is true it won't run on normal pump gas. Three find out who built the motor, if they aren't reputable then don't bother. Personally based on what I know I say no to the deal.
