Never heard of em, but their site looks really professional. Just leak down test it (or hook it up to a battery and...) and go from there. My swap (other than some wiring) has been proven to be in good shape (although I do baby her). Good luck, and when you need help, we'll be here to give the necessary assistance if so needed. The swap is easy, btw. Don't sweat it if you are.

hey if you get your engine from them let us know what the quality is. ive heard mixed reviews about osaka and i was going to order a front clip from them but i want some testimonials first .

why not call jarco or j-hot? theyre very reliable and we know this from quite a bit of experience. i would ask the mileage, if it comes with the ecu/maf/ign chip/intercooler/plumbing/etc. also see if they have done a compression and/or leakdown test and if you get a clip or something, ask if you can hear it run.

good luck and crongrats on the new car! sounds like its a nice one.

oh haa, it's one of my friends. he owns a local garage in WA. He hand picked it out himself. 46k miles. Good compression all around. He's name is tino from custom imports, they special ordered it for me, it was the last one in the container. I'll ask him if he can get more next month. Maybe he can sell some to you guys! He's a great guy.
