hey another recommendation.. call up www.importautosalvage.com the guys there sell the most complete engines you can buy and are very extremely knowledgable.. they will be able to answer almost any questions you may have. their swaps are a little bit more expensive but they are the most complete I have heard of.. If I were you and I had the money ready, I would just call them and ask them what they can get you a swap for.. let them know your car and whatnot and they will take care of you. www.hmotorsonline.com is good to however so I wouldn't hesitate ordering from them.
I was just letting you know another good shop
just look at how they package this engine... nice and clean and complete

If you want to save some money, and be quicker, go with a B18B and get a turbo kit. Later down the road you cand get a b16 tranny for it if you so desire

I for one, would preffer a Turbo B16 with a B16 tranny over a LS with a LS tranny going Turbo, i have 3 CLOSE friends who have Turbo B16's with B16 trannys, all stock B16 motors, UNTUNED, with Turbo kits, one on 10psi (12.7), 8psi (12.8) and 8 psi (13.2.) Obviously drivers do make a difference and different turbo setups as well, but from local Turbo LS's that i have seen and heard about, none have even came close to accomplishing these times unless they are BUILT and not stock (w/turbo) like these B16's, but thats my opinion and friends experiences, oh yeah, and one of them has tried a LS tranny on the turbo B16 setup and the LS tranny slowed him down tremendously....
But what i think would be a good idea for someone to try out, is doing a 4.4 Final Drive on an LS tranny with a turbo setup with some good hp and trq. numbers. It will be higher than a GSR tranny but I am sure someone has done it, just havent found any input on it yet... :-)
