13b turbo motor and trans

Im looking to swap the first gens drivetrain with a 13b engine and trans. I think its time i get started on gathering parts. Ive had a brand new t3/t4 in my room for a few months waiting to go in something so that should come in handy eventually. But for now, I need to get a 13b engine and tranny. What are some of the safer, trusted places to get good motors?

actually, feel free to post and negative experiences/stories you've heard of places too that I may want to steer clear of.

Its too small for a rotary. Its actually a downgrade from the stock turbo from what I have read. The turbine side of the turbo is too small and will choke the engine.
