Engine Importers in San Diego/ Los Angeles???

I've been looking for a used engine importer in San Diego or Los Angeles, so far all the importers have stopped selling 13b's & the one that sells them is out & they still only get them a few times a year. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it! I have a 1990 TII. It's a complete car with full trans & drive train, but no engine, I just need to know where to get a 13B-T. Also I've been contemplating picking up an N/A S5 engine & converting it to turbo using the TII manifolds (Intake & Turbo Manifold) & TII Exhaust housings. If it ends up being impossible to find a TII replacement. Is this a decent setup?

Thanks everyone!

LOL yea PANN isn't big in the Toyota Community I used to frequent as well. San Diego isn't the best when it comes to good chill shops. But hey, at least we have a good performance car community!

You can bargain with Pann and they price match as well. I've bought quite a few stuff from them actually.

I would try the 2nd gen for sale section and Japan2LA I bet he can hook you up. He imports lots of motors.
