Does anyone know a online store where i could pick up a B20A engine with all swap components for pretty cheap? 7-900 is the range i am looking at? Or even someone who has an extra engine laying around and would be willing to sell it to me. I would even be willing to just buy the long block and trans.

You have a clue what you are getting into here? You can't jsut call a shop and get one; most will try to sell you the B20 out of a 88-91 Prelude, which is not the B20 for the Accords. Also, what kind of Accord have you got? If it's a manual, you will have to search over hide and hell to find a tranny for it; A20 tranny don't work with the B20. If you got an auto, then you are in luck, cause there plenty of them around.

Also, $900 is ripping you off. You should be able to find one for $500 for tranny and engine. Call Openloop Motorsports, talk to them.

500 bucks for a b20? thats fuckin cheap i though 1250 was cheap for a b16! i thought the b20s were more. but I can't find shit on them either, plus even if i do find one, i will need another 350 bucks to ship the piece of shit.

Neither swap is gonna be cheap cause the B16A needs all the mounting hardware. And with my experience with JDM motors you will need to rebuild them at minimum (timing, water pump) but i have seen some pretty bad ones. So this would probably make the B16A more expensive if you can find the B20A with a 5spd. And if shipping should be less than that cause i didnt pay close to that to ship from California to Connecticut.
