what is a reasonable price for a b20?

Im doing a b20 swap… either a 99-2000 jdm high compression b20b or a 99-2000 usdm b20z2.
I’ve been shopping around for prices and have been getting numbers all over the place.
I know the 8.8 CR b20b’s go for anywhere between $400 and $800 depending on where you look.
I found a place that claims to have the High Compression JDM b20b for $685.
Then there is the b20z2… I found a few places thanks to junkyarddog.com that have them for $1000 +.

Are these reasonable prices for these engines?
What did everyone pay for their b20 swaps?
should I go for the place that “has” the higher compression motor and risk it being the 8.8 CR motor or spend more and get the b20z?

Thanks in advance guys.

Try Hmotorsonline.

It depends on what you want. If you just want the longblock then it will be a lot cheaper as opposed to wanting the entire motor swap, meaning Longblock, tranny, wire harness and ECU and even axles. But definetely Hmotorsonline. All they do is quality motor swaps.

do you guys know where they are located?
I think it would be expensive to ship a motor from like California to New York.

edit:
Okay so they are in Burbank, California. What do you think it would cost to ship an engine to me from there?

Email them.

Last time I asked, They said around $300-400.

I guess it really depends on if you want the full swap or motor only.

i found
http://www.enginereplacement.com/htdocs/performance_specials.htm#honda
that site. they have a “B20B Late Model High Compression Long Block” for $685 and it’s within driving distance from where i live.
Should I trust that it’s a Hgh Comp motor? Or should I ask them to take pics of the pistons to make sure that they are PHK pistons?
Anyone ever dealt with them?

You may want to look on the head and see what year it was manufactured.

11

so i got an email from a company in Indiana who will ship me a b20z2 for $800.
Jump on it or go for a jdm b20b?

Jump on it. the B20Z has the same specs as the JDM B20.

17

I think I remember hooking up Eric with mine, and that had the P8R head, and it was something like 1200 shipped?

18
