Im no expert but that sounds rediculous. Im about 75 miles from a jdm importer so getting a low mileage jdm is in my opinion more practicle for me. P.S. whats up with all the angry people on this site?

sorry i was just ticked off already then i saw that other kids post and it made no sence i just couldnt let it slide.....
and yea that price sounds horribly rediculous....to be honest spend 200 or so get yourself a craftsman or other cherry pickey get a driveway or better a garage and diy....civics are quite easy to do swaps in now for the k swap the hardest thing i can see is wiring shift linkage and mounts so if you really cant do the mount portion of it id suggest just going ahead and haveing a shop put in that bracket....if you are going the k series way......if your going b series then just buy a cherry picker and pop the old motor out new one in after of coarse you put some new stuff on it etc and yea its pretty much drop the new in plug in the ecu unless its a obd2 then either find a obd1 or get a adapter harness and get that situated. and yea its actually quite a simple swap the b series dohc motors just a bit of wiring but if youve ever wired up speakers then id say you can wire up this lol....(i know its a stretch from speakers to motor but it has a basic set-up you have a positive and negative most of the time and others you will just have one wire that can go straight to the ecu....and with this helpful forum and the others out there doing it yourself will not only save you money but in the longrun allow you to understand the car better....
