Are you going to do the swap yourself? Or do you have a mechanic who is going to do it for you?

well if you're going to pay someone to install it, you might as well pay someone to build the motor instad. it will probably be cheaper and make a lot more power

Im not paying to install.

I just want to get a new engine with under 50k on it and possibly I might need a new tranny and Clutch.

Whats the best way to go? Pay someone to rebuild this engine or buy another b18b1 and have it installed (free).

pay someone to rebuild it. have everything inside replaced and you will have a motor with 0K on it. that beats your less then 50K and this will be a lot faster. just my .02 though, its your money

so just to be clear, rebuilding a 215,000KM engine would be better then getting an under 50000KM engine?
