Default GTE Swap Sources Question

So any one that has done an engine swap on the GS where did you get your motor from? It is time to take the unicorn to the next level and do a transplant, just wondering where everyone bought the swaps from.

I have an 03 so VVTI is necessary. Tried to search but did not find much on engine sources.

Thanks for any help fellas and stay tuned

Use the search button! !!!!
I got mine from japan direct in Canada and i know a few other members did as well. This is the most complete swap i have seen so far without buying the front clip. Here is the link. Hope you have someone to do wiring....it can be a nightmare

Thanks for the feedback on the sourcing. I appreciate it.

Don't so much appreciate the smart *** search reply, prime reason why I don't input a lot on this forum is because seems a bunch of people up here rather haggle then help. Some Honda boy type ish, guess that what to expect though when the price tag of 2gs is affordable. Also I'm well aware of the wiring thanks though. I wouldn't be doing a swap and build if if I couldn't trace a wiring schematic...a little silly to assume I would need someone to do it for me.
