Hello,

Their motor packages are great and you won't get screwed. They have a reputation to uphold and they'll get the job done. Also, you would have to contact them about payment options.
I think anywhere else, you'll be taking a risk. Keep in mind, if you live on the east coast, I don't know what to tell you!

Never heard of them. $500 is very cheap to install a motor, but if the harness on the motor you buy has been cut to ****, the wiring will be fiendish.silvia R wrote:anyone ever here of JDMENGINEDEPOT.COM anyone?? anyone every buy any motors from them? the thing that killls me is the price places charge for the swap. someone is offering to install the sr20 for 500 bucks. is that fair? they said they would leave the wiring to me. is wiring a pain or is it pretty easy? thanks
Even if you have a complete harness, it won't be easy. Did you ever actually look under the hood to see how much wiring there is?
Again, follow the advice above. Buy the engine from a well-known, reputable seller and have a reputable shop drop it in (or do it yourself). If you take it to a shop, see if there's a way you can check out their work on other cars.
Many people have been ****ed over trying to save some $$$.
I took a huge risk going through ebay for my front clip. When I saw $2800 for a 98 S14 front clip, couldn't resist. Turned out great, motor works perfect. On the other hand, my buddy who bought a $800 S13 Redtop engine only got screwed. I would advise against going through ebay as support will be very poor.
