    Hello I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a reputable company to buy a refurbished or Japanese import engine from. Or if anyone happened to have one in the post falls idaho area.

    Thank you! I was thinking of doing a 3uzfe swap but that sounds like a headache and quite a investment

    You can get a short block from Toyota for a reasonable price if you have everything else

    Just curious about where you've seen them in stock. My understanding is these engines went out of production a long time ago. I saw them on a Toyota website once, but when I tried to order one to call their bluff they informed me it was a mistake and took it down.

    I got one from a local dealer about 6 months ago and have bought others in the past. It’s possible they have since discontinued them or COVID
