Question General prices, and questions!!!!!

Im about to sell my 99 Civic SI, hopefully I get at least $10K for it. Then im planning on getting a 95-96 240SX. Just dont think its worth the money on hooking up my SI. But I just want to know what a good price is for a S14/S15 SR20DET? Where can I go to order them? The standard labor costs to swap? Does it directly bolt on? Ive been getting info from others but I want to know from you guys. Im currently in NC for school but I live in Miami. I basically want to know how much money I will need, and what parts I need just to drop the motor in and get the 240 up and running, eventually upgrade later. Just the general info if you guys can provide me with it. Thanks. Help much needed!!!!! My email is vbgambini@aol.com

Check with club240 member "rkcarguy". I got my RB25 from him and he stood behind the motor when the head went south. I highly recommend him.

Is there any problems that may occur when I swap the motor in the 240? Like sudden problems?

First, Search, some of your questions have been answered many times. Buy a car then do the swap. Everyone I know who has bought a car with the swap done including myself has had tons of problems. For example. My car supposedly had a new exedy clutch, walboro fuel pump, and rocker arm stoppers, it didnt. The wiring sucked, and ended up shorting in various places after about a month of owning it. PLus smog was a ***** since it had to be smogged before I could register it. I suggest getting the most stock car you can and go from there.
