Where to buy used engine?

What are the best places to buy used engines from? JDM engines would be nice too.

Also, would it be cheaper to rebuild an engine or just buy a used engine that's still good? I just recently bought another RX-7 shell and want an engine for it.

In the long run a rebuild will be cheaper (in most cases) since most used, usually JDM, engines only last approx. 25,000 miles.

As for where, just look around your area - there are engine importers everywhere - or ask someone in the club local to you to point you in the right direction.

DO NOT BUY FROM OSAKAJDM.com They are a bunch of thieves, 2 out of 3 engines I ordered were total crap and were blown from the start. DO NOT BUY FORM OSAKA.

So with a new rotor housing and a large streetport, how much would that cost me on a rebuild?

Check with RX7club member Japan2LA. He sells great J-spec engines. If you send a pm it usually takes a couple days for him to get back in touch though. tell him socalfct2 sent you.
