Default went to jdm engine place today

so i found a jdm engine place a few stores away from the autobody shop where im getting my car repainted and body kit installed,,,,,,,,, i walked in and asked the guy if he had the full b16a2 engine swap for a 92-95 civic... he said nooo but i have a gsr swap....... he was being a real dick also wenever i was asking him questions he was asking kind of fishy and tried to rubb off a few questions...... and walk away wen iwas talking to him, so he said $2300 for the gsr comlete engine, transmission and ecu... he didnt say that the axels,linkage engine mounts or anything else was included...... plus the gsr head looked like it had a whole in the head and he tried to cover it with a toolbox but i moved the toolbox, then when i told him he said he has 2 more and hell give me one of those..... wutdo u guys think lol

I would buy from a private seller. like ya know people around your area and it will be cheaper than online and a store. and plus you can check the engines out. that is what people around me do when they do an engine swap.

h22 is a good motor. but a h23 is a little better because more torque, k20 is an awesome engine, and a b18 is a good engine too.

looks like a decent site and whatnot. I would order from them . I guess. but for 1700 I would get the h22. more hp I believe, I could be wrong.
