Default Source to buy complete AP2 engine?

I am considering a project that would require a complete AP2 engine, radiator, control modules wiring harness(es) and all associated hardware to make it run. Is anyone aware of a wrecking or salvage yard that specializes in something like this in the middle to upper midwest??

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

From back in my honda days, everyone had great experiences with
www.hmotorsonline.com

Their inventory changes all the time though. I only see an F20 on there now. That's used only of course.

Nope, the CR is hibernatng nicely in it's garage stall dreaming of warm summer days at the track.

This may sound a little nuts, but I have a 914 track car that is sorely lacking in HP. I did some looking, and Kennedy Engineering offers an adapter to mate an AP2 engine directly to a 914 transaxle. That gives me 237 HP and a lighter engine package than the stock 90 HP type IV engine. To get that kind of HP from a Type IV engine, I would have to spend $ 25K and it would be an absolute grenade. This way I have a stock engine that is very reliable and easy to maintain. Any minor mods to the engine is pure gravy. Can you imagine that kind of HP in a 1,500 lb car or half the weight of our S2000's and mid-engine?? Sounds like fun to me and I can still race it in Nasa events/ BMod in SCCA.

That's cool as hell. I just had a 914 1.8l just before getting the S this past november. The 914 was what did it for me. Soon as I had the targa top off, I just knew my next move would be a full on convertible...

Anyhow... good luck with your project. I hope to see pics sometime.
