Anyone know a good source and what would be a good price to

a

used 13b turbo in the SoCal area?  What year engine should I be

I appreciate any help given,

I would buy a running car 89-91 Brayan for about $2500.

How about those used "JDM" engines?

You got me there.

Our used 13bt came from JDM.  We paid about $1250 delivered to

Colorado.

The engine is in fine shape, with no significant wear / problems.  The
engine was well packaged & had all lines capped.  The turbo unit also

was in

good shape (although we've decided not to use it after all -- go

figure)

So, it worked out for us.  But, as mentioned in another thread, we did

not

get an oil cooler in the mix.

I didn't get an oil cooler with my Japaneese import engine either. (I
purchased one for $30.00, however).  For me, it was well worth it not to
have to remove the engine from the car, and then have to deal with

disposing

of the rest of the car after engine removal. I'd rather spend my time
building an aircraft and installing the engine than spend the time

removing

an engine from a car and then having to have it towed to the scrap yard,
etc.  Just one more way of looking at it.  Depends how much time/money you
are willing to spend.  Paul Conner, Hemi powered 13b on an SQ2000 canard.
(Only kidding about the hemi part, please don't ask me how to do it).
