a bit of advice.. buy a complete half cut.. that way everything is there. if you buy just the engine/box etc you will be missing those little things like shifter linkages, engine mounts and it will end up costing you more time and money going back and forth every time you come acros something you need. A good front cut is around $3000> plus labour to fit etc. I know an engineers certificate is required if the engine is an import.

oh thanks for the tip, yeh also heard the d16y5 gearbox isn't good enough for the b16a? and whats wrong with wanting to convert to a b16a? just cause i don't have the cash for a b16b neither b16b is really worth the cash?
