Default Question about motor dealer

Today I went to Osaka jdm motors located in Montreal Canada.
They seemed ok to me but I don't know anybody who has dealed from them before. Does anybody here have dealed with them before.

The motor I'm interested is a B16A 1st gen with Y1 LSD---1350$
If he installs it he sells the package for 1800$ (but he said that it dind't require aftermarket mounts for instalment in a 1991 civic si)----> I wouldn't install the motor there thats for sure.... I just wanna know about good or bad motor experiences from them.

Their website is www.osakajdmmotors.com

There are numerous stories about osaka on HT. It would probably be more wise to order from a different place. Like importautosalvage.com or passwordjdm.com

supposedly they got their problems under control, but unless you can drive up there i would not bother with them.

I would never deal with them over the net from the stories I've heard, but if I could walk into their shop and pick up the motor myself and the prices were good, then why not.
