I got mine from EBay through JDM. It seems like a really good engine. They are pulled from cars in Japan with supposedly low mileage. There was free shipping but I did pay extra for a lift gate delivery truck. I paid a little over two grand with taxes and paid the mechanic nine hundred to install it.
