the benifit's of obdI opposed to obdII is simple, the engine is more simple, there are less sensors, less electronics controlling things, and therefor less interfearance with performance modding.

i'm not sure of the exact number of sensors, but i wanna say obdI is somthin like 8-9, and obdII is somthin like 22.. those numbers might be a lil off, but i believe obdII has double the sensors obdI had.

dallas ain't that bad of a drive, hell i had to go to san antonio to get this motor. , this will easily fit in the back of a suv or truck, basically a good excuse to road trip, but you better have some strong buddies to help, this sumama***** is heavy.

as for things i could use, it looks like your taloring is in the audio equipment field, lol, i've kinda gotten outta that ever since my **** got jacked for the 3rd time, but i suppose there's a few things i could use.

list:
- in dash screen w/ am fm + a cd/dvd player combo (single din model or a pair of single dins doing dual function)
- 5.25, 6.5, or 6x9 speakers of good quality
- valentine one, passport 8500, or bel 980, prefer the V1
- high end single din headunit (assuming no in dash moniter is found)
- 4, 5, or 6 channel amplifier (only if w/ above speakers)
- apex'i v-afc w/ wire harness (i know it's not car audio, but **** i want one)
- nitrous oxide kit, perferable to zex or nx, same reason as apex'i

as far as audio brands go, i'm partial to:
- kenwood & sony decks, don't like eclipse or clarion, can deal w/ alpine but prefer not to if possible
- amps i like from xtant, kenwood, and alpine
- speakers i'm pretty open to brand just dislike pioneer & boston in that area, and prefer component sets, not all in ones

since you have a hookup w/ audio i'll do a price chart @ 25-50% over wholesale cost on audio, if you find an apex'i v-afc i'll honor it @ full typical sale price of $300, find a nitrous kit & i'll honor that @ $4-500 depending on what's included.

lemme know what you can dig up and we'll talk, as you can see the motors just collecting dust anyway, so i'm in no hurry.

also find me a low milage f22b2 (94-95 2.2 ex vtec motor) with a 5spd in dallasto bring me, and i'll knock $500 off the cost, best i found was a 98k mile 5spd in new york for $450 + ship.

lemme know guystrtrcr18@hotmail.com

if you hook me up pretty good i'll toss in extras like spare longblocks, axles, intake manifolds, distributors, stuff like that, but i'll make that call depending on what all you bring to the table to trade.
