Redshift is where I got mine. Overall experience was pretty good I guess. The guys are all VERY helpful to the point that they actually dropped off the motor, mounts, etc at my house since they missed the pickup date. On the downside they can be slow getting parts in and you have to kind of harass them to keep their attention.Oh yeah, the engine, I forgot. It was guaranteed to have less than 100,000 miles on it, it was compression-tested (guaranteed) and steam-cleaned before I ever saw it (without my asking), and it had a seven-day startup guarantee.

Link didn't work.I've been looking at Nippon motors since they are the cheapest I've found. Plus I already bought the computer, so I can just order the engine and tranny from them.

Got my 2000 USDM B18C1 engine from http://www.ImportAutoSalvage.com, spoke with Larry who packages all the swaps. He was professional. I sent him the check and two weeks later, I got the engine, everything I needed to make the swap happen and even some misc. parts from a Mitsubishi, and a set of lug nuts. I love the engine, the best part is that it only has 10K miles on it.

I got my engine from http://www.importautosalvage.com I know about 15 people who have done the same. The shop I use, deals with him all of the time. the company is great. I can not praise them enough. Although it sometimes took a little longer than expected to get my needed parts, they were always more than happy to help out. When my motor came in and the valve cover was cracked, Larry sent me a new one right away. When I needed a different ECU to run, Larry sent one to HASport for me to be reprogramed. When I had any question regarding anything, he would always help or point me in the direction to get the correct answer. While I am singing praises, let me also praise HASport. No, they do not get motors, but Joe was probably the most helpful person I have run in to in the industry.

My H22A4 was from a 97 Lude. It had 33,000 miles on it. I came with all the hoses and lines capped off and not cut, wiring harness, exhaust manifold all the way to the cat, and an ECU. Well, since we were keeping the car OBD1, the ECU would not work, and they supplied me with a replacement. The cost was $1,500.

motor was 1300 plus 350 for the chipped ecu. i also had to get a new exhaust because my original one was falling off. it is not cheap but well worth it.

I paid 4K for a 2000 B18C1 with 9K miles on it. It's pretty high but I have no regrets. The motor runs great and I clock 13.5 1/4 mile times all day.
