I havent heard from them, but i can tell you dont buy from www.jdmenginescorp.com I'm local to them and been to their warehouse. All the 13bts are in pretty bad condition, when i picked mine out I got the best looking one, which turned out to have a blown coolant seal.

For Quality motors contact Curtis, at www.revvinsevens.com . He is also local and has great parts. I think he quotes a motor, tranny, wiring harness and ecu for 1300 - 1400. Thats a great price for a working motor.

DONT BUY FROM OSAKA!!! Trust me. If you can go there physically, you'd know what I'm talking about. I went there one day and I'll never make that mistake again. The place stinks, engines are not taken care of, all one on top of eachother. When I went there, the guy had 2 rotaries, one with no compression and the other was jammed. And I mean JAMMED!
Try Japan general motors, Sunrise Japan or Japan Domestic engines. Nice places, well kept and professional.

+1, However I have bought from Osaka and did get a good S5 longblock. Although I had requested an S4. Shipping sucked and took forever.

Think about what? They suck horribly. A simple search in this section under 'osaka' yielded these results:
