Default Best place to buy b16a swap?

I'am looking into buying a 96+ b16a complete swap (usdm). Where would be the best place to buy it. I found it on http://www.nippon-motors.com for 3000$ but that seems like a hell of a lot. How much should I be expecting to pay for not only the complete motor, but the installation as well? And where the hell should I buy from, because I don't seem to know where to look, other than googling "b16a swap."

I searched but found little...'

btw I live in bay area, CA

There is NO WAY you searched on honda-tech about buying a motor. There are eleventy BILLION threads on the subject. $3k is way too much and for god sakes you live in CA, there has to be TONS of shops that will install a motor for cheap.

Since you live in the Bay Area, check out H.A.P, they're in Rancho Cordova and their website is http://www.Haprecycling.com, talk to Bi, he's the sales manager there and can get you anything you need for a B16 swap at some of the lowest prices anywhere. Look at my sig, the number is there.
