Default JDM engine depot

Has anyone heard anything abut this site, www.jdmenginedepot.com? I am considering ordering a motor here for a future swap, but having a hard time getting an email response from them. Any info would be nice, or a recommendation of another site would be cool. Thanks

Have you googled reviews for them? Personally I will only deal with Hmotorsonline if I ever need another swap. The extra cash is well worth the piece of mind IMO.

I've gone through and looked up many different importers and I haven't heard a single bad thing about hmotors. I plan on going with them! Like you said you will pay a little more but the peace of mind is worth more than that!

i live on staten island, and engine depot is right over the bridge for me, ive heard funky **** with them, like they sold my boy an integra typer engine, come to find out they took the head off and swapped it with a b16 head..we could tell because of the casting number, year (1st gen b16) and cams...

so i delt with jdm engine zone in clifton, nj (about 35min from my house) and ive bought 8 motors from them, 3 were personally for me and 5 were for customers...great customer service and environment, great prices and NEVER had a problem with none of there motors...

hmotors is great also, but engine zone is more convenant for me cuz its less than an hour from me and you get to pick the exact motor, instead of not knowing what your getting.

Really? How do you know they did it? And your friend kept the engine? Returned it? Just wondering.
