Where to buy a running shortblock?

I searched around and I couldn't find a good, current, list of vendors for getting a known good condition shortblock. Also just googling for engine importers seems like a dubious source of information given the number of horror stories floating around.

So far, the only reputable source of imported engines I know of is Japan2LA.

could we make a list of good quality engine importers/sellers?

format could be:

Japan2LA
Link: (no website to link)
approximate price: $1700 (complete longblock) + shipping
Engine condition: Tested good

You gotta find the right seller.

I sold an engine with good compression numbers last year from a car I parted out.
I've found engines in the scrapyard with rebuild stickers on them...
