If you can't find it all in one place you might consider buying a rebuilt longblock and adding the other parts and pieces. A good rebuild should last longer than a used JDM engine (Don't ask me how I know. It's a long story). Mileage is not the only thing to consider. If the JDM comes from a large city such as Tokyo, it will have a lot of hours on it from being stuck in traffic. I think FC3S.org recommends their JDM engines only for a core for a rebuild. Then again, you may get lucky and get a perfect engine.

E-bay often has complete motors for sale. Check the seller's feedback. I got burned on a great deal when the seller cancelled the auction a few minutes before the end. He had no reserve but would not sell it unless it met his minimum price. Yes, I did report him to E-Bay.

Good luck finding an engine. You may check the junk yards in your area. You might get lucky.
