Default Urgent Motor Swap Help

Ok guys, here is the deal. I would like some info on buying a motor and getting it installed. My Ls broke a timing belt and bent the valves and all of that jazz. So I have decided to go with a b16a2.

My first question is are there any shops that do swaps that provide the motor as well. Such as XAT racing with the sr20 swaps.

My second question is based on a no for the first answer. Where is a good place to get fairly low mileage motors? I also need this motor quick, so if anyone knows of a site that ships in a hurry that would help. No offense to anyone, but I really dont' want to get on off of TR, I would prefer a website or something.

My thirst question is what would be an average cost to do the swap quickly. I need my car to be drivable as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Are you sure your LS bent a valve?
Did you take the head off and look at it?

Thanks guys, and yes I'm sure it bent a valve. Either way though, it is about time I got a b16 anyway. I just need to try to get all of this done pretty quick.

hmotorsonline.com - Nobody can beat thier prices and they have clean ass motors. Mine arrived well packed and in excellent condition. I checked locally and everyone was $500 - $750 more for the full swap.

Thanks guys, I think I might be going with driven concepts. But I still might need to know about better sites to get motors from. I have found Jazzproparts.com anyone know anything about them?
Also, does anyone have any pics of swaps done by driven concepts. Thanks for all your help
