Anything... I just want to be ready when i need stuff for my car. for now though probably a drive shaft. I have to first make sure its my drive shaft

I looked at them, most are all shops and custom places. My racing might be my best bet, but im waiting for a call back from them

I called Tiger, but they don't seem to be be overly educated with the B-series motor.
"Hi i need a quote for a B16A"
"what year car?"
"94 hatch"
"that car doesn't have a b16a"
"I know, its a conversion"
"are you sure"
"nevermind"

So im hoping since 101 people have B16 motors someone can point me to a shop that carries most of the parts onhand

try the forum classifieds first; i have seen a ludicrous amount of mint b series pass thru members hands on jdmr. they fly through parts without even putting a lot of them through their paces.. i got my d15b engine and tranny off members and for $200 combined i really doubt a better price exists. now i have the cash for head work!

or try local classifieds like craigslist and kijiji; also great bets if you want to pick up quality parts locally for cheap. all you're getting is ****ED WITH when you buy from shops these days it seems.

i'm not surprised either; most places don't even test the engines before selling them they just get rid of everything because there's so much demand. at least when you buy off a forum member you know they're more legit because the opinion of another forum member means more to them then to a gyp shop and they've probably already tested the motor out at least

If you are piecing together a swap yourself, I would look at classified and research the parts that are needed and make a check-off list.

Otherwise, hand over the car to a shop and tell them what you need and let them worry about the parts. You pay more than just labour and parts (slight mark-up) but it saves you the time to source out deals.

thanks everyone

The Tiger story was more to show that he was using a system, so he punched in my 94 civic and then asked my engine, and I told him its a conversation, and he asked are u sure about the engine, as in it was listed.
thats why i gave up.

Im actually not doing a swap, trying to finish up a swap someone else started. I'm going to get the car dyno'd soon and talk to Zeeman to make sure its running like a champ. For now though, I want to make the run safely/ legally
