Pretty sure that will be a bigblock, Sure its only the facelifts that are xe1.

Ive bought a couple of engines online, Not had any issues, Mate had one turn up with a hole in the block though.

That 1.8 of chris's was spot on, Cheap too.

I would be very wary, get proof of mileage and if you can see it running. A mate of mine wrote his civic sir off and it turned up on eBay a couple of months later from a breakers yard claiming it had done 1/4 of the mileage it actually had :s

All the x18xe1 engines I've seen online come bare, so you're going to have to get loom, ecu, and all sensors.

Might be cheaper to find a vectra and break it tbh.
