I'm intrested to hear how much this runs you, so far from what I've heard from 2 people it falls in the 4-5k range.

Grab a shop manual and tackle it yourself! I'm in the middle of completing my engine swap right now! I'm putting an AP2 Motor in my AP1. I've swapped 4 or 5 civics/integras/delsols so this is a little different but its not too bad....

It's not too hard..I did my own swap already. Although some of the stuff is a little tricky to get at. But I can't imagine doing this swap on your own at home. I'm sure it's doable. But I've been spoiled with air tools and hoist.

Yeah you definately want to have a hoist cause I cant see that motor dropping out the bottom too easily. Honestly if you've swapped other Honda motors I would say go ahead and do this swap. Its no harder than any of the other swaps its just that everything is a bit more compact and takes patience cause the hoses/wires under the intake manifold are a !@#$ to get at. Its also pretty nice that you dont have to undo all the connectors because the harness just unplugs straight from the ECU.

I would say do some more research and call different store and see, DIY is good if you are a patient and mechanical person...Anyways, like paul said, give Speedstar a call..I think albert can give you some pointers at least...

Nope I dont, that car actually belongs to Albert
I was persuading him to sell me his mods from his old S2K...but he need to decide what to keep and what not...
