PINEAPPLE RACING has the best guarentee, not the cheapest though.

Good luck! Rebuilding it yourself assuming you have good housings costs you a little more.

You may find one on ebay or junkyard. It's a risky proposition since you're not guaranteed that it'll run for that long (hence, ending up with 2 worn out engines).

I can do *rebuilds* for that price range, but I have to have something to work with up front, such as a core or jspec which I do not have here.

IF youre just wantint to buy something like a used engine or jspec, youll have to look elsewhere. IF you already have said engine and need it repaired, I can help.

I have a motor with 140k on it and I think I found some rotor housings in good shape. Would you be able to do that??

Absolutely. As long as an engine hasnt already **** its load by blowing an apex or 3, everything inside is usually fully rebuildable, keeping cost and time involved low. I can do a 13BT for around $1200 plus $200 for SP if desired.
