If I were you I would get the parts on CL first as the drive train can be a little trickey to get where the motors are easy to get..

Is the place called Nagoya?? I talked to the owner a few years back at a car show I went to in Vancouver, BC and he was really nice, great prices on rotary engines compared to pistons...

No Mazdsa motors or prices listed... Do you mind me asking how much the going rate is at Nagasaki? I was quoted 2200 for a 13bREW by Nagoya when I talked to him. Which was cheaper than the SR20 ($2400), B18C5 - Integra Type R ($6000), and an insane price for a 2JZ... Keep in mind that was Candien dollars and the exchange rate was very beneficial to us then... I think it worked out to about $1800 US dollars for the motor back then...

Not bad at all! For that price I'd be a little worried that it might not be in the best shape but only time will tell...
