with install and the engine?

[91civichatch2571]

they said they will install a b16 for $1100 into your car?? That cant be right. If their serious, go there tomorrow, give them the money and have them do it. Thats the best deal ive ever heard of.

[91civichatch2571]

are you sure they dont think you said D16??

[lowboy]

oh no man that does NOT include the engine!!!

they said about 3k with the engine and total install,,,
im just talking about the installation here guys!!!

That would be a hell of a hump from richmond to cali, coast to coast for an engine install. I think 3k would be pretty reasonable, its a little on the expensive side but its not outrageous. Ask if they have done the swap before and see if you can get some customer names so you can find out whether or not they do a good job...If they do a good job then it might be worth it.

Well, that would be a pretty good excuse. However, after you figure in all your travel expenses 3k is looking pretty cheap in comparison. But it would be a real good excuse, I dont know about lowboy but I've never been to cali and have really been looking for an excuse to go.

you can prolly find a better place for 3 grand that will get engine all parts rebuild it with new parts and install it
