Usdm Sir To Jdm

somehow i fried my piston in my 99 SIR and but the head is still in great condition with 90KM. If i get a jdm second gen. complete block would everything bolt right on and what about the wiring... is it plug n play?? or should i just get a short block and snap my old head on.

what is the best route to take... and can you recommend me to anyone who specialize in jdm swap. most shop i go to said they have a hard time finding a 2nd gen SIR motor.

or should i get a GSR block so that way i will have more low end power and does anyone have this type of setup. if so can u please PM me. If someone hook me up i will treat you some MCdonald or something.

you got some facts to face at this point.... some machine work will be needed to your engine. So pull it out, and take it to Leitner for the work. He can quite easily build you a motor you'll be happy with for about the same price +/- the cost of a shortblock from Honda.
