just make sure you buy the motor from a LISCENSED BUSINESS.....if you want to just buy a motor from any old person i can get you one for 1500, but what are you going to do if something is bad? dented oil pan? bad mafs? missing comp? cut harness? bad turbo? what kinda recourse do you have? what kinda warranty will you get? what kinda legal action do you have in the case of anything going wrong? all good things to think about....but yea, if you wanna just send a check to someone and get a motor, i can do that for you reallllllly cheap ; )

Any and all motor defects are to be reported directly to my supplier, which I only give there information to paying customers.

No problem, it's all good.
I don't want any customers to be upset over something they purchased through me, so if there is any problems, I would like to know.
I do my business basically by word of mouth, and posting on various forums.

Of course, this isn't my full time job. Right now I am a computer tech, but I am in the 3rd stage of testing to become a cop, I do this as a 2nd/part time job.

I am interested in doing a swap but I have a question about engines bang for the buck? I want a blacktop s15 SR cause I want the six speed, but is the added cost worth it. If so who has one and how much?

After doing a little research I have decided to go with the S13 Redtop and modify it. I also need the hardware to swap from an auto to a stick anyone know where I can get this stuff?

actually the 6 speed tranny is not weak by any means.
it is stout but most tuners perfer the 5 speed because it is more tough. think of the abuse a tranny would have to take from a guy who drifts everyday with 400 hp.......
the tranny will also fit the red or black top. so if you want to use one then just find one through an importer. the 5 speed tranny has better gear ratios that are more suited for HP then the six, which is suited for quick acceleration, and keeping engine revs down when at speed.

look at it like this.... both tranny's are the same size externally, so to cram an extra gear with syncro in there somethin has to give.. usually in a case like that would be "stoutness" of the gears/shafts.
feel me?
hope this helps clear things up

When you say "clip" you mean the whole front of a car right? If so that is wicked, sign me up. Where can I get one I live in Texas so it will probably have to be shipped,
