Where can I get a used engine put in?

Okay, first of all, I need a quality used '90 13B nonturbo engine. I live in Arcadia Ca. Does anyone know anyone that can bring me an engine and put it in for me? I know that's a lot to ask but supposedly I have someone to do that, but that gay son of a bitch has been dragging his feet for 3 weeks and I'm getting so tired of waiting for that ******. Please help!

Yeah, I need a mobile mechanic. This guy said he could do it all for $1100, but I have a feeling that if I don't bother him everyday, he'll never get back to me. And I don't know him personally, so I'd have to bug my neighbor everyday, because of a language berrier. I don't like to be a pest.

Give me a garage and tools, I'll do it with you over a weekend.

I've done 3 of mine, if it's just a pop and swap it's not all that difficult. Just a bit time consuming =)

good luck with that for the most part your better off with a rebuild cuz finding a new/rebuilt engine (non turbo) isn't easy cuz i had to get one and had a hard time finding one in good enough condition to use as for the in home mobile work you should be able to find someone to help on the forum

If you are planning to spend @$1100.00+extra parts. You might just well spend another $500.00 bucks and find a decent working N/A FC.
