Does any know where to get a used motor?

I thought about ordering a 350 tpi motor from thirdgenresource, but after I read some bad things about them I decieded not to. Does anyone know where I can get a good 350, tpi unit, sensors, and computer for a fairly reasonable price and from a reputable place?????? I want to do the motor swap in a few months and the money is burning a hole in my pocket fast please help.

Well for new motors start at www.sdpc2000.com. I think TA creations sells complete motors
http://www.tacreationsusa.com/.
Personally I would get a new engine (like a ZZ4 or 350 HO) and then buy the tpi set up out of the classifieds here. Don't waste your time with used sensors, you are going to end up having to replace all of them anyway. Get the computer out of a junk yard, and an aftermarket wiring harness. But that is just my 2 cents... it really comes down to your budget.

For everything you want, you'll have to go to a junkyard or find someone with a wrecked car they're parting out. Then, your best bet is to buy the whole donor car. For just the engine, you could also try machine shops. Sometimes people have engines built and never pick them up. The shop owners often let them go for minimal cost. Personally, I'd build or buy a new engine. I've been burned bad on the used engien route and am not doing it again unless the engine is $100 or less.

Thanks for the input. I think I will probably go with TA creations. They seem to have their stuff together and some decent prices. I looked around at a few junkyards over the weekend but didn't find anything worth jumping on. A ZZ4 or ram jet 350 definately would be a nice motor to go with but it is out of my price range for now. Again thanks for the input guys and I will post some picks after the swap!!!!
