Anyone got a hook up on honda motor swaps?

Would love a k20a but that s a bit out of my range right now..

a friend of a friend is selling a fully built up NA B18B LS/Vtec if your friend is interested i can pass on the word. The engine was built locally by blacktrax and the guy decided to join the 240 bandwagon so he is getting rid of the engine.

I think he is selling it to the tune of 2-3k. I have heard that it is putting out around 250whp I think. It is all built and ready for nitrous but never has had a system hooked up. I'll get more info tommorow at work.

Dre, give Nate a call at S-Squared, he used to do swaps in his sleep, and can probably make something work for ya.

it wont "drop right in" unfortunately. you will need tranny + axels, probably ECU too. i believe custom motor mounts are requred also.
