There are no engine "dealers" that will get you a reliable USDM engine... You either get a Jspec, or you buy from an individual... Best bet would be to get a low mileage Jspec and rebuild it...

Try HERE...

I've never had any personal experiences with them, but their prices are pretty reasonable...

 

thanks for the link but my main question with jdm is for a rebuild how hard would it be to get parts and what not and what challenges would i have putting it in my 87 n.a. thanks

 

JDM engines are essentially the same as USDM engines, with minor differences in emissions and whatnot... Most parts are interchangable and all rebuild kits are the same...

 

man... im thinking i want to do that... 1000 dosnt seem all that bad to tell you the truth... i might do it...

 

thanks for clearing that up for me becuase i was always told you would have to import parts and what not. thanks for the help im probally will go this route now
