how much should I offer?

[88ReX]

this is what the guy says

Basically it will be the complete longblock, including distributor. The tranny as an auto tranny that has already been spoken for, but you can easily add any 5-speed tranny to it. Engine will have bout 85,xxx miles when it comes. Engine is really strong and oil has been changed approx. every 3000 miles with Mobil One Synthetic. I also have the P75 ECU to go with it. So if you just need an engine that still runs strong, LS/VTEC setup, or turbo....this is the engine for you. I'm not 100 percent positive what goin rate is, but I'm looking to get $1000. Open to offers. Thanks.

what do you think I should offer him'?

b18b1

it's an OK price. It's not a total ripoff but you could probably do better as well.

You might want to check into the ZC motor as well - -it's not that much lower in HP and it's a LOT lower in price - - - turbo/supercharge a ZC and it will destroy a B18.

I think IM gooing to offer him around 800 or so + shipping b/c I can get a b20 for the same price with <20k miles......so maybe even less. I would get a zc but this is newer (out of an 95 ls) has higher displacement, more hp, more torque and I also hear its good for turbo. My plan is to stay non vtec and just build internals, block guard ect, 20+ psi at the track

IMO I wouldn't do it, that is way too much for just a motor w/no tranny! My boy just got a B18B for his Teg w/out tranny for only 400, so I'd say just keep looking around or find a nice ZC!!!

[Shadowkahn]

I agree. Besides, 85,000 miles is a LOT of miles for a motor that you want to put a lot of money into to make it go fast. I'd look at the ZC again -- - first off, it's not VTEC, second, you can get a 30,000 mile engine for 300-400 bucks.

[Melt]

yea, thats too much. I say you get a DOHC ZC

[88ReX]

u h0m0s I had it all planned out now U gotta hit it down...thats ok tho....

does anyone know how well the zc takes to boring?

[Shadowkahn]

It's flexible and can be bored. Most people don't bother with that though -- Think of it this way. A supercharged D16 in a CRX can whip up on Porsches. Imagine what a supercharged ZC will do
