Built Motor... Where to buy?

Did a bit of searching, came up empty.


I know I have heard of some sites that sell built, most or fully assembled Subaru EJ motors. Anyone have some leads on some of these websites? Its coming time for some work to be done and I would like to check out my options before I jump into one thing.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

Had a change of heart.. Looking down the road Im going to be buying a house here pretty soon and starting my life. As much as I would love to have a "cool new car" I don't want to be stuck with a "cool huge payment" for 6 years while im also paying mortgage and getting situated ya know? The Subaru is payed off, its good to go, I just need to be happy with what I've got.. i guess

So I have decided to have a little fun with the Subaru, for WAY less than that I would have spent on the Evo.

well work the month,you get what you pay for...but you might only have one car so turn around might be important to you. I have 3 cars so a week or 6 months is all the same to me. hope everything turns out ok

Some people don't have a month... and some folks turn them in 1-2 weeks.




Just saying....
