Why a "jdm" engine?
Buying engines from an overseas company is very risky...50% of the people that I know that have bought JDM engines have had to have them rebuilt as soon as they got them. Most of the engines are coming from "beat-the-f*ck-up'ed" cars.
I know one guy that bought two engines at the same time....and ever got them...lost like $4000
Rebuild your engine, my $.02
I'd talk to Ryan @ vakamon and see what they can do for you.

it would be cheaper and come out better just to swap an engine into it. i really don't know the shop is dealing with my wife, and i'm in iraq so it isn't like i have much of a choice.
