Default This look legit for a swap?

My friend showwed me this site and recommended just gettin the whole front end compared to the engine swap they had...
I know it will be some extra work takin everything out of the front end and then putting it into my rex, but maybe that could help me figure out what goes where since i'm new to swapping.

heres the link to front end:

Considering a first gen B16 swap goes for around $1100-1200, for a lil bit more u get the front knuckles/brake set up too. You also get the EF9/DA6 radiator. Oops almost forgot, u also get the RHD dash board, but i dont know what ur gonna do with that. To me its not a too bad of a price, but im sure ur gonna love the shipping costs.

BTW ur still gonna need an aftermarket motor mount kit.

yeah i figured i would need some good mounts, thats no big deal for me
i'm just wondering will all that extra stuff come in handy when doing the swap or is it just extra stuff to ship and throw out?


anyone else dealt with this place?

I was worried about the shipping too, but it was only $300. Seems like a good price, but I have never heard of the place...

I believe MOST of it will be thrown out when u sort through it all. A bunch of it is useless and will be dead weight which makes shipping it a bit costly. For example, the steering rack is completely useless as well as the RHD dash. I hear u cant even use the sway bar.
