Sheesh...how freekin hard can it be to buy an engine!?
let me tell you....i've never had so much trouble buying something than trying to buy a B16! I don't get return emails...don't get return phone calls....sigh....I found something cool out. It's called a B16A1C-L. It has a LSD stock! I'm trying to get with the place to get some info on availability, but no one was there when I called, and no one has returned my message or email yet...and another place says "I'll call you right back...." yeah ok! I just didn't think it would be so hard to spend my money

EVERYWHERE!
I've emailed:
Jspecjdm.net - no reply and no return call when message left.
Importautosalvage.com - Guy SEEMS great! thing is, he never returns calls, emails or does what he says he's going to!
Place Racing - still waiting for return email.
and a few others that I can't remember off hand

Have you tried www.hondamotorsonline.com
They were very timely in responding to my emails and were very polite and seemed pretty cool over the phone. I have heard good things about this place and I am going to order from them tomorrow.

actually Sparq I emailed you the other day....
just making sure I get what I want for the best price and all....everyone seems to offer warranties and I've seen full swaps listed from 950.00 to 1400.00 for B16's....and from 3100.00 to 6500.00 for ITR motors!
I have one that i'm interested in, full swap with B16A1-L (LSD) for 1400.00. And that's retail, they do dealer pricing....

www.soko.com ---> cheapest prices
www.nippon-motors.com --> large stock...
I got mine from Nippon..
as for the engine you are ordering, there are no B16a"1"s.. In the JDM 1st gen B16 was simply a B16a...
As for the "L" part or whatever... dude someone is feeding you a lot of BS...
A Y1 and YS1 tranny are the only 2 that came with an OPTION to gegt an LSD in it... the engine code itself it no different, LSD or no LSD... you get a B16a with a J1/S1/Y1 or YS1 cable tranny...no B16A1C-L or whatever... the egnine code designation is B16a regardless of the transmission...

that looks like that's their 'part number' or whatever that describes the engine for them....like or zc's they had zc-d (dohc) and zc-s (sohc)...and the b16 you're looking at is 'b16ac-l' which is b16a w/ cable transmission w/ lsd....that's what I'm thinking

heh  yeah looks as if that's their way of keeping stock inventory or something... 
Either way, if JSPEC doesn't have a b16a for ya, try soko, then nippon...
