Engine Swap

I have searched this website just about 5hrs or so and really found nothing on Jspec engines where i can find them and how much it will cost me and how much it will cost to put in it. I am looking to buy one but i dont know where i am also looking for a complete swap so i dont have to worry about getting every little piece. I am going to put it in my 88 GXL i know some of you are asking why put in the gxl and just buy a t2 but i cant find them where i live. So i decided just to put it in that of what i herd its pretty straight forward swap seems to me everything will go in. But i would like some info where i can get a jspec engine pretty cheap and decent and complete i love my car but i want more power from her you guys are right i thought i herd on here you get bored from a na i want to here the turbo spool and the blow off valve so any info on this subject at will help and please i have searched and havent got what i was looking for i found some info but not enough

http://www.flashoptions.com/ for a front clip and you can get a hybrid driveshaft from http://www.mazdatrix.com/index.htm#Home@new to connect the t2 transmission to the na diff
cost to put it in w/o rebuilding around 2k with one which is reccomended 3k or more (this is from stuff I have read on the forum while researching my own t2 swap)

Yup, those open N/A diffs are so much fun. Even more so with more power.

be cafefull for what you buy, jspecs are a gamble if you dont get a warrenty with it , it can cost alot of money and time , best bet buy a rebuilt motor.

check nipponmotors.com for jspec engine, should be around 650 with manifolds and intercooler, as for ecu and engine harness might be 150 each, got those prices from a junkyard. hope that helps
