Good Source for S4 NA motors?

I've been searching around for a spare motor for my 86 GXL. I couldn't find any site that imports them regularly. Does anyone have any good sites that may import S4 NAs? All I can find are turbo's turbo's turbos, but I don't want to do a TII swap.. I'm also open to other suggestions. Thanks.

LOL. There is a reason you can't find imported nonturbo 86+ engines. THEY DIDN"T MAKE ANY IN JAPAN!!

YEs, all 86+ cars were turbo in japan. They only developed the NA engine for the euro and north american markets.

I can help you with a rebuild for about the cost of a good used engine. www.rotaryresurrection.com

The junkyard is a good source for a 13B. Might need a rebuild though. But Kevin can get you a rebuilt one for a very good price aswell.

Doh Doh Doh! Yeah, I feel stupid now. I already knew that, and I still continued to search online for some S4 motors for sale.

Well, I need a spare one on the side. I suppose I can go to a junk yard and try to salvage one and get it rebuilt by you guys. I'm tight on money though. One of my RX7 literate friends told me I can get US s4 NA motors for like 500 dollars. I've found trashed TII engines for that much, but not a good condition NA.
