Default Hunting down the perfect GSR

I think I might be ready to play with the big kids and get a GSR.
I am looking for a FULL GSR SWAP ONLY!
  • Low milage (under 90k)
  • Full Swap
  • OBD2
  • JDM preferred, but USDM okay with proof of milage
  • Compression Tested and/or See It Running
  • No "failing" transmissions
  • Paperwork Is a Huge Plus
  • NO P.O.S Hals-Running Swaps
  • GSR Only, No B16 etc..
  • Never been opened up, I want a virgin motor.

PM what you've got.

I want to start off with just a gsr swap and in the future, will move on to K and maybe even J series. I also have an Acura CL 3.0 which has a J30 and I do admit, I love the torque.

I've thought of HMO and will probably end up buying from them if I can't find anything.

Well for as picky as your post is, they will be the only place to get you something even remotely close to meeting your standards/requirements.

I'm aware. Let me know when you find your exact motor.

Thanks, I had called the guy about it.
It seemed a bit sketchy, so I told him to send me a few actual close-up pictures which he still hasn't done. If he does, I was probably going to take a look at.

Why not just look at it in person to begin with? There's no mention of miles so good luck getting under 90k like you said in the original post.

To be honest, I highly doubt you will find anything locally to meet your criteria. I would just buy any decent looking/running swap and call it a day.
