lceah Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 That's really cheap...it might be stolen or something... If you do check it out and it's good, that's an awesome deal, IMO Are you thinking of putting it in your car or in a different shell? As far as I know, it would fit in your car...

Rick B. Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 thats not cheap at all, especially for a motor with 80k miles on it. pick it up though, why not. do a compression/leak test on it. start building it on your spare time, then swap it into the car.

lceah Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 ^I just checked hmotors and theirs are around $1900 but they don't come with aftermarket cams/clutch... GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrodh Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Since your in ohio check out ohio-hondas.com first cause a guy on there has a complete b-series swap he got from hmotors 15,000 miles ago (so likely 50k or less) for sale. Last thread bump I scene he had it for $1200. He appears to have a legit support from the forums too so it's definitly worth checking into if your even considering this. GL. EDIT: And yeah Hmotors should be a fair amount more considering the pretty much guarnteed miles (averaging round 30k) and the fact that they are inspected and cared for a great deal more than some guy ripping it out of a car and selling it.

OTiS Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 the motors from hmotors that have the 20k-30k miles tho could be pulled out of cars in japan that have been driven hard. nonethe less hmotors does seem to be a damn good seller. every honda site im on iv seen them mention numerous times.

Xeryon Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 1700 is a pretty fair price for a moderately used b16 setup with all the parts. Not unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
