Looking to buy an f20c in good condition. What are the best reliable places to find a good running motor?

H Motors is currently out of the f20c.

I know there is motors on ebay. Who is reputable there?

Anyone in SoCal that i should be talking to?

Will there be any issues if i end up with a motor from Japan?

 

Aside from the thinner head gasket I don't know much of a difference between the US and JDM F20's

 

TAE auto parts is legit. Purchased my F22c and countless other things from them. They are ebay sellers also

 

I agree, they're legit and will stand by what they sell. And if they sold you a boofy part they'll either exchange it or re-fund you.

 

Any of the local repair guys in SoCal can get you an engine I'm sure, but I don't know what kind of guarantee they'd give you unless they rebuilt it, as opposed to an "unopened" used one.

 

+1 for TAE, got my F20 from them, low miles great price

 

I got a f20c from hmotors year ago and It runs great, but you got to put the best gas u can buy in Cali, it knocks with cheap gas, stick with chevron 91 which I hear is like 92-93 octane.

 

I have one for sale lol. It ran great and never burned a drop of oil (yeah. I know). I swapped it out because I didn't want to tear apart a good motor to to a stroker.

 

O yeah same here, not one drop of oil!

 

I bought mine from JDM Source in Calgary a few years ago for $3700 with transmission attached. Still runs great.
