my friends got a b16 sittin in his garage. he told me he would sell it to me for $1000. its missing tranny, ecu,and i think wiring harness. is this worth the money hes askin?

How many miles? Even if it had low miles I would say no. You would need to spend a grip more money just to coplete it.

well its a '91. it has under 35,000 on it. it didnt come with a wiring harness. how would i go about getting one for my 98 civic? or would mine work? and what would i do about an ecu?

Dr.Boost

You would need a new harness. I'm sure it is a common kit. I don't know much about swaps. I'm scared to swap out my beloved D series. Checkout www.hasport.com for things you will need.

that whole 35,000mile thing is just an average, you dont know EXACTLY how much is on it. always remember that.

also, your car is a 98 so its obd2. if the engine is a 91 then its obd0. you would need a different dizzy (distributor) and im sure other things.

For 1000 you could spend another 500 and probably get a b16a2 from a 99-00si that would drop right in.

yeah i would tell ur friend to kiss ur *** on that deal cause for 1300 i can buy a complete SI-R 1 b16 swap and for 2000 i can buy a complete SI-R 2 swap. were talking the complete swap also...mounts shift linkage all that ----. but thats here in kansas city.
