Default why is this b16 so cheap!?!?

wtf?
why is this motor so cheap,
http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/s...page&item=30016

its from a 90-91 civic.. but even so, its still putting out 160hp so who gives a hoot?? why do people throw in 1500 b16's, when they could get this kind, with the same hp numbers, and save a grand??

are they really hard to install in an EG or something?

just curious,
maybe i'll grab up one of this if my dx motor dies

Why? because that one came off an automatic, so they have to sell them as a longblock only.. No ECU, No tranny, basically no good ----, just a long block

You would have to get all this stuff yourself. Your better off getting a complete swap, Engine/tranny/ECU from them for 1150.
