They're very difficult to find but best bet is an importer or another 3G'er who is getting rid of theirs. B20Aturbo has two for sale last time I checked, don't know if he's gotten rid of them yet. (One for his car and one for building a project around, the lucky bastard hehe:))

They don't cost much comparatively speaking. A grand give or take a couple hundred for the engine and tranny seems about average.

It's a direct bolt-in except for the rear tranny mount which has to be custom fabricated, but that is not excruciating to have done.
