Default best place to buy a motor/ 13b-t

so im looking for a good place to purchase a JDM spec 13b-t for a '91 fc3s rx7. i have the chance to pick up a shell from a good friend of mine and i might consider it, depending if i can find a motor or not. i've owned 2 fc3s previously and just love the rotary engine even though they are super temptermental, so im looking to go back. so if u guys kno any places online or locally please let me kno. thanks in advance

My friend was looking for one a while back. He said these engines are getting very difficult to find as they are getting very old, and Mazda don't make them anymore.

With the gas prices these days, why would you want a drinker? I drove a turbo 2 before, the gas needle was literally moving down whenever I push it on the fwy.

Put a F20 in it!

i would if i had an extra f20 lying around price of the 13b-t is a little more easier to take. besides i have a s13 coupe w/ ka24 and thats not the friendliest on gas either.

Ken, you may also want to check the RX-7 forums. RX7club should have some up, or they may be able to point you in the direction of finding a good REMAN motor.
