So i found a gsr b17a1 motor for $220 with a spun bearing. It sounds like a great deal right but are there any perks to having this motor? I haven't really seen any mods for this engine and i've never really heard of anyone swapping one into a civic. I would love to get it but i'm kinda scepticle:

I wouldn't say a d17 pulls nasty, just a smidge better than a b16, and everyone knows how fast those aren't. In between a Gsr and B16. They are okay, but not "Naasty".
