Where is the cheapest place to buy a complete engine? can be rebuilt. needs to be for a 91 toyota supra turbo.

Question:
I have a 91 toyota supra and it came with a blown engine, but hey, a supra's a supra, especially when its only $500.00. but now I can't find an engine for it for less than $5000. I have a cavalier I could sell for $6000, but I need to buy the engine and another family oriented car, so i'm looking for an engine in the $2000.00 and lower range. if anyone can provide me with a solid lead to an engine in that price range other than watching the auction sites, I might be inclined to offer a reward.

Three wheel trims, is this illegal?

$500 isn't bad for a Supra. I've personally owned 5 in my life and am looking for number 6 all the time. The MKIII (86.5-92) was notorious for blowing head gaskets. I would check for that first. The best way to check for BHG is a compression gauge. It's fairly easy. Read up on it at Supraforums.com . Assuming that is what's wrong with your's, I would recommend repairing the engine. Last 7M-GTE I rebuilt cost me a little over $300 in parts and about 2 weeks of my spare time. Assuming it's not...and something like a broken rod or hole in the engine block, then you should be careful buying a used engine. Many of the ones online are JDM pulls, this means they're high mileage and often abused engines pulled from Japanese cars. Since Japan refuses registration to higher mileage vehicles, they're parted out. If you end up needing a new engine, I would recommend trying to find one from a salvage yard (they often undercharge for these things, believe it or not I've bought an engine for $100 once). Or search for a wrecked donor Supra with a good motor. Either way it'll be cheaper than $5000, and with another Supra, you'll have extra parts...and believe me, you'll need them :)
