Default 7mgte Swap!

Wsup everyone, so im going to go with a swap for my 89 Supra Turbo. Im going to just swap for another 7mgte, im going to swap it with my uncle so all I need is to get the engine. Any suggestions to suppliers or places?, I also live in SF/Bay Area. I also ran into a couple online suppliers and i was looking into the supplier http://www.jdmtigerjapanese.com/

Any comments or suggestions are welcome! Just trying to get my baby up and running! Thanks!

i dont quite get what your asking or saying. are you swaping your current 7mgte for another 7mgte in better shape?

also that site looks a bit iffy for me, i looked at the bbb's site referance and nothing comes up for it( in my opinion i wouldent trust it, but im very carfull when it comes to online stuff)

Yeah I have a 7mgte already and I'm trying to swap for a newer 7mgte. And yeah personally I'm always careful with online products too, especially if it's going to be an engine haha. So do you happen to know of any trustable online suppliers? An what's bbb's site reference?

i dont know of any sites that are trustworth for whole motors, since iv never needed there services iv never looked them up. Iv always checked any website if im speending anything over 10$ online i would check whith the Better Business Bureau to give me a referance of " they look legite but im not shure" so useing there site usualy helps sway my opinions.

if your geting another motor to trade i would just buy the extra and keep the old one as to rebuild ( or race build motor A) and leave your factory(motor B) one alone. this ensures you still have a daily driver and, when your race motor is built and ready to go you can simply install and be on your way. if the race motor blows you have your ol reliable factory rebuilt one ready to drop in. why pay to swap a 20 year old motor for another 19year old motor

but thats what i would like to do but i would need DEEP pockets for that. you could always try your local junk yard and hope they have another 7mgte lyeing around, for me its kinda easy since i live near miami and tampa

Yeah that's what I wanted to do, swap the engine and rebuild the old one. But as for looking for an engine I'll have to check on some junkyards and do more research on online services if I decide to go that way... But thanks for the advice, I'll definitely refer to that website!
