If you are looking for an used long block, I would suggest a recycler such as HAP Recycling out of Sacramento.

I don't think Joey does motor swaps. Perhaps Blacktrax or a Honda service shop.

Man, the Stealership wanted around $9k just to replace my cylinder head . Thankfully i brought it to Opak racing and they just said i needed to replace a bent valve and no significant damage to the cylinder head.
