dropping the motor is like any other FWD car, wiring will be a little harder mainly two options get the harness that belongs with the motor and replace the whole engine harness with the One from the motor, or splice and re wire sensors.

Cost wise its hard to say due to the fact prices vary, North of you in Toronto, to buy a GSR with an LSD you will be looking to spend 2000 - 3500 depending on the seller and its private or from an import shop.

There are tones of DIY's online for motor swaps just have to search.

The forums here had a great DIY on a b swap. And it all depends on where you buy the parts. Can use Craigslist, order online, junk yard. If you are like me I prefer more Craigslist because you can haggle the price down lol. Thank Sin for O.B.O lol
