Alright, so I'm pretty set on getting rid of this y7 in the car right now, and for the time being, I think I want to go B18B and eventually boost it. Because of the idea of me wanting to boost, thats why I chose the LS. Also because I want to boost it, I don't think it would be the smartest for me to grab an engine off some kid on a forums since I won't know how hard he was on the engine already. In light of all this, I've been shopping around between tiger, hmotors, and torontojdm. Tiger seems like they're throwing out the worst deal, and as far as the other two, here's my thoughts.
Hmotors: First off, I know them to be pretty reputable. As far as price, I was quoted at 2275 shipped and was also told that sicnce I'm dropping it in my 98 dx, I need an Si T bracket as well as one other which they would accommodate in the quoted price.

Torontojdm: I've never really heard of them. I googled them to see what other had to say, but there wasn't much to be found. I was quoted at 1999 shipped from them, and was told that with they're package I would need the b series shift linkage and drive shafts which they would accommodate in the quoted price.

What do you guys think as far as the deals in relation to the business' reputation. Should i spend the extra cash and go with Hmotors? Also based on whats in both of those swaps, is there anything else you can think of that I will need? This is my first swap and I want to make sure I have everything in line and I could definitely use some knowledge from you guys that have the experience.
