Need an Engine..

I just fixed my electrical problem, with the help of wise forum members and a handy test light. Last time I ran it the radiator cracked and it overheated.. very.. very.. badly.. more than once.. and you can tell by listening to the car. Sounds like I am running on one rotor. I need an engine! If anyone know anything about an engine for sale in So Cal, and someone that can do good rebuilds, cheap, in So Cal, please let me know. Need this ASAP.
Thanks Guys

Typically cheap and good quality rebuild aren't two things that go together. However, since you're in SoCal get with Guitarjunkie. He does top notch work and his prices aren't bad by any means. That's who I would go to if I were going to have someone in SoCal rebuild one of my engines.

I have a S4 NA Mazda Reman....

bought from Puente Hills Mazda new and about 30,000 daily commuter miles when removed. Now in need of a new home as I finally did my TII swap. It should be nothing more than a plug and play. Not even an oil leak when it was removed. But, must be picket up.

PM if interested.
