NY Where to buy engines in the NE?

I have a na 87 gxl and I want to be turbo. At first, I was going to swap in turbo motor but after looking and finding nothing I decided I would go with a 6 port turbo. I opened my motor up after a failed coolant seal and found that everything was pretty rough. the rear iron was toast the housings are a hard maybe and the center/front irons show some pretty heavy wear. SO I am back to wanting a turbo swap and wanted to know where I should look to find an engine?

I think a rebuild to suit your needs probably going to be your best option but, if you are dead set on a running swap then i'd say you are already in the right place. Just keep an eye on the classifieds.

I am not dead set on a swap but after looking around for a few days I think you are right. I guess I will have to keep saving because I only had like 800 for the parts to rebuild the motor since I didn't expect to have to get new housings and a new iron.
