Ebay sells them. Nippon motors has them occasionally and I believe Atkins Rotary has 2 in stock. Other suppliers include: clubfc3s.com and SDrotary.

Remember! It is a 10k project if you aren't horribly half assing things! Be careful or you will be broke before you know it! This is no small undertaking!!

Got mine from a place in Cali that had 2 full front clips. Had it to my door in 3 days after I sent the payment for it. Great Service!!! I did search for a "long" time though. I found one in NJ and paid for it then they told me the compression was bad. I think they just sold it out from under me for a higher price... I did get all of my money back from it though.

i actually just located one a town over, the guy finally called me back. very low miles, full long block, excellent compression, for $3500. he actually has a t-88 turbo that he'll throw in for another $500. not too bad of a deal. anybody pick up the twins on these, since i wont be needing them?

Yeah, there was a whole article in Modified.com magazine about 8-9 months ago. If I can find the issue, I'll post all the info.
