Helllo everyone, Im in the market for a 13b motor, block if I have to, and am just wondering if anyone knows a good rotary engine importer?

If anyone knws a reputible dealer or any info that could help in my search it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ken C.

I have all the parts from my original motor I can just put back on if I get just the block. I need two rotors and two housings but instead of just buying those parts I would much rather buy a new motor.

well if you would rather just buy a motor we must all assume money is not a problem. i would reccomend having 1 of the many quality vendors on here build you a ''new'' motor rather than trying to find a good used 1 imo

Check with Japan2LA as well as he imports a lot of motors and has a great rep.

You also have to understand how your post came across as well. I'm certain it was not intended but you made it sound like buying an entire engine wasn't a big deal and then when someone suggested you do so...well you kinda backtracked. Just my observation.

Thanks for all of your help I see that djseven is a good source and his warrenty is second to none. And Gringo grande I did not mean to backtrack at all I just noticed that purchasing an imported engine seemed cheaper than buying a reman or fully built motor from a private seller or dealer. I am not trying to go the cheap or easy route just the finacially wiser way in my book.

I can vouch for DJSeven. I've known David for some time and he built the engine that is in my track car. If it can take the abuse on the track, it can take daily driving with no problems. Here's a couple of video's from last weekend to showcase David's work:
