is that price just for the engine and tranny alone or does it include labour?

an OBD-1 GSR is a little under 2g's. you'll have to find a 92-93 GSR cable tranny unless you wanna go with a hydro tranny and get a conversion kit. with an LSD hydro tranny you're looking at about 3g's. add a clutch, timing belt, water pump, and labour to that.

i got these prices from tiger jap you might find it somewhere else cheaper.

aight man this is what you do.. You already got a B series motor in it so you know B fits no problem.. you even got the stock B mounts so you can save on that for now. Same with shafts

B20b block/head complete = $450-550
B16 Ys1/s1 tranny = $400-500
Stage 2 clutch/ flywheel (complete with pilot bearing, etc..) = $300-500
Labour (take b18a out, put b20b in with assambled tranny) = $500-1000 depends where u go and who you know
B20 ECU obd 2 (convert from obd 1) = $150-250
ORR Fuel Pressure Regulator = $150 (don't get an e-bay one or AEM, leak gass..)

There you have it..

And did i mention the room for potential??? B16a/b or B18c1/5 VTEC head next summer..? another $600-900 worth.. (vtec line, head gasket($250!!) plus the actual head plus labour.. (machine head..) GOOD LUCK!!
