rebuild question? upgrade to t2 ?_?

It's time for a rebuild and I've decided to get a new engine. I was running a 87 na but I want to upgrade, is this t2 a good deal? Does anyone know anything about this site? Has anyone bought any engines from this site?

Here is the link
http://www.jspecautosports.com/catal...spx?prod_id=72

It's around $1000 for rebuild kit.
and this is around $1500(and shipping I will pick it up).

rebuild it if you dont have a shop at your disposal. It is quit tiering with evryone and there brothing thinking they can just swap a 13t in like its nothing and be on there way for 500 more dollors. It kinda makes a side note to others that they do not have the skillez needed yet or they would know this. It will cost you more like 2.5 to 3k to compleat that swap.

I have a engine lift and I have all the tools I will need to do this. I also have a heated garage at my disposal. What else would I need?

a custom drive shaft a hood wire harness converting ecu fuel pump exhaust few gauges throttle cable. Whatever I missed and the skillz to figure out why your used siting motor wont run when its first put together.

500$ in hoses belts fluids for tuneup.

jesus that's a deal. are their motors generally good? just a fyi here's what i've spent so far:
$1300 13bt engine only from CS.
$80 for USDM harness
$50 ECU
$40 TII fuel pump
$200 ghetto *** ebay clutch, we'll see if it holds.
$20 throttle cable.
$20 stock downpipe/precat
$50 (!) turbo>downpipe gasket
$10 Intake manifold gasket
$35 MAP sensor
$30 Knock Box

and that's about it so far. Engine is currently being rewired for USDM harness but i'm pretty sure i have everything i need besides a boost guage & assorted fluids.

$1835 is my total so far . . . but YMMV.
