Engine blown (b16b1), I need a engine swap and I want to know what kind of block to throw in. I drive a '99 teg LS AUTO. I would like to drop in a motor with more power and little mods. my mechanic found a motor with 81K for $1k, I think that's really high. The neighborhood performance shop said they could find me a replacement longblock for $750, but I don't know if i can trust them.
