i would say someone is blowing smoke - a complete changeover from http://www.hmotorsonline.com is only $1250 + shipping - engine only is $599 + shipping - no way you can get complete changeover for $500 to $600 and for engine only, he would owe you money! - what a deal!

My only comment is learn how to punctuate and use propper grammer. Kid asked a straight forward question, no need to be a *****.

Find out if the kid and motor is legit, if so...I'd wait on it, if not try Hmotorsonline I know the tight *** above had a good experience with them.

Thanks 15 Degree V


I was trying to say that I can get a complete B16a1 swap for $1K even if I wait till his next BIG shipment in about 6-8 weeks. If I get it now, I'll have to pay about $1.3K for the swap. This price doesn't include shipping of course. That runs about $250.00. I guess I'm just a little excited. Good things come to those who wait...LOL, thanks guys

Ah that makes more sense, I would say wait , and while your waiting keep saving some you can get some more go fast goodies, when you get the engine!! Good Luck!!

BTW, who are you buying the engine from, do they have a website?

If you are gonna call me out, proper is spelled with one P and it's grammar not grammer

Back to my point, I definitely recommend Hmotorsonline, great customer service and I had a great experience buying from them.

if you don't need it as in your car isn't going to run without a new engine then why not continue saving up your money...you get more and more and more and more engine opportunities will come your way just keep on looking.

i've been through this dilemna so many times now i'm just waiting for my struggling little d15b to die...meanwhile i've saved one hell of a lot more money to possibly buy a built engine now.

Its funny how you find my spelling errors after I point them out to you on IM. And I thought your point was to make this kid feel dumb? At least my reply to the kid was constructive.
