Importing a JDM motor
I did a quick search and I couldn't find any recent and relevant threads on this topic. Hope I'm posting this in the correct section too....

Anyways, long story short, I'm looking to import a 4A-GE 20v. I'm wondering if people have any suggestions on the best/most reputable importers that I can deal with. I'm a bit nervous about ending up with a boat anchor/seized/shitty motor.

I have made a similar post on other forums I'm part of, I've been suggested JDMSource.ca as one option, among a few others. Has anyone dealt with these guys specifically?

Any suggestions of who to and not to deal with would greatly help my situation!

have you tried asking the RS sponsors that do engine swaps? they may be able to recommend their sources since they have to back up their work.
