Junkyard. Pull the valvecover and pull the oilpan if possible. I wouldn't pay more then 500 for a longblock.

Yeah that was just what I'd pay for the longblock. Trannies aren't cheap no matter what cable or hydro for b-series. Thats what jacks the price up. I'd paid 115 for brand new axles for my swap. You can usually find B18A1 for 400 and under. I've been seeing them for the 2-400 range.
