Default Where to buy 1JZ swaps?

I was wondering where do everyone buy there swaps from? I google them and alot come up and there is some on ebay. But I dont want to buy from a random site, since swaps is a lot of money. I want to browse around for some since i plan to buy a complete swap after i buy coilovers for my car.

Thanks

Check the Club Lexus SC400/SC300 classifieds forum and check on the Supraforums.com classifieds. They pop up from time to time. Just make sure that the 1JZ that you buy is from a Soarer and comes with the correct harness. It can be a hassle if you get one from a MKIII Supra on accident.

Any importer from Canada is going to have the best stuff.

They are a RHD friendly Country, and are buying all the surplus from Japan!
