    So I got a B20A...I think

    Ok I have been e-mailing this guy over at this website for about two weeks now. He says He has the Motor with 5 Speed in Stock and I can have it at My door for $600 Shipped, however they say they are too busy to provide pictures and He still has not given Me the first Three digits of the Serial #. He assures Me He knows what motor I am talking about and says this motor came from a Japanese 89 Accord And not the Lude. He seems frustrated that I am so skeptical but lets see where we are at...

    After I order the motor I will post the name of the website, I just dont want anyone jumping on this before Me. It is a havily advertised, apparently reputable motor swap company though that is in many Magazines...

    Trouble is does it come with all the bits you need? Shafts, half shaft, half haft bearing support, all the engine mounts, alternator etc. etc.

    I won'tbelieve it. That price sounds to good to be true.

    if all else fails, $600 to your door isn't bad and you can resell it to someone with a lude to get back some of your money.

    if he won't give u the full serial then tell him no deal.. a legit seller would have no problem giving u that kind of info.
