thank you all. i have got you'alls pm's and will look into it more seriously as soon as i have all i need to do it (probably after Xmas/New year, family comes first these holidays).
However, I am very interested in offers of engines, preferrably b18's but also b16a2, with all/most other items necessary ofr the full swap. if you have an USDM or JDM engines available, what mileage and what price. Any offers will be taken into account. i went to a few shops but never got more than "i will email you", so they will not get my business. Anyone who can be serious about this and provide real customer care will have my business
