He said he doesent have the time because he has an internship.... That wont last forever...

I am sure down the road if he makes a point of it, he can do a swap, it takes no longer than 3 days with the right stuff and know how.

Why give up a relyable car and 2 grand for a car you know nothing about? Now I could understand doing this if you just got your EG, and dont know jack about it, and had 2grand to blow on whatever, but I am sure you are not in that situation. Sounds like you are in the same boat as I am, I was gonna do sorta the same thing with my motor, I was gonna trade some guy, straight across, my D16Z6 with 130k, for a B18 that had 40k, and had Nitros, and I was planing on moving in a week, and didnt know much about the history of the motor. So I posted my question on here, and decided not to do it, and just to stick with what I got, because I know it. And Now I have more $ in the bank, and am planing on buyin a H22 from Hmotors this summer. If I had gotten the B18, and it had problems, I would be in the hole, and even if it didnt have problems, I would still prob end up geting the H22 later on down the road, it would just take me longer. So everything worked out for the best. Keep your car, and if you do a swap later on down the road, keep the stock motor so you always have somthin to fall back on, even if it is a pain in the ass to re-swap it in.
