hmotorsonline.com, they have a gurantee on all their motors as well. That is were my next swap will be coming from. Have a few friends who have purchased from them, and motors are always in good shape.

You must not be interweb smart, LOL. J/P man, on hmotors, on the top left of the main page it has options were to go, you hit "motor mall", the on the next page on the top left you select USDM-JDM motors, and then it pulls up their pages of swaps.

Haha, it's ok, it took me a couple times to get that site too. I thought it was all messed up too the first time I went to it.

The only peeve of mine is that these prices haven't changed in 10 years. You'd figure things would get cheaper but I guess demand is still high.

Thats pretty much it, and they're still guranteed low milage motors. What other motors can you find on forums that have that low of milage anymore. I'd rather give 5k for an ITR swap with 17,000 miles, than 4k for one with 100,000 on it.

My engine I bought for them had around 70K. Yet the engines I got from them are still flawless.
I'm not trying to start anything, just saying in general with the newer engines become easier to obtain, you would think these would finally start dropping in price, but they're not.
