I am doing my LS swap into Rex or EF chassis from the parts i buy off of here myself, but i recommend buying the B16a2 swap from www.osakajdmmotors.com they give you everything you need. From swap to wiring harness to shift linkage, brand new axles and the swap is very complete and ran on a dyno before you get it, so that it is broken in already and you just need to get it put in or do it yourself and your off in what ever car you have. Good luck

If your going to swap at least go with something with more displacement. A B16 is just another 1.6L.

if you want someone local, driven concepts can get pretty much anything you want. they just got rid of a complete gsr swap, but im sure they could get another one.

a little off topic, but how funny is it that an OBD2 GSR swap is more expensive than a 98 RB26DETT out of a R34 skyline....

supply and demand, anyone?

id say screw the hondas, grab up a 96 nissan hardbody pickup, drop the RB26 in, and with some decent traction bars and a 4 link you could be smokin hondas all day long
