I just bought a 98 GSX and on my way home then engiine blew. Its a horrible siuation and to make it worse its too far gone to even try rebuilding it.

My question is, where can i get another engine with low milage to replace it? I live in PA.

Also, if i want to go with a brand new engine what are the suggestions? I do want to keep it turbo.

Thanks
 
You can get a nice 7 bolt on ebay, or a partout ad on here, or keep an eye on CL. Everyone is going to tell you to get a 6 bolt, but don't waste your money on a 6 bolt. A 7 bolt engine is just fine and usually go for hundreds of dollars less.
 
How did it blow?

How do you know it is too far gone to rebuild?

Check the "Vendor Announcements" for a drop in rebuilt.

Before you buy, check there reviews.
 
there are re-manufactured blocks out there but it gets expensive quickly. idk how mechanical you are to rebuild your own engine get a new block or buy a used one and have it machined. Idk what happened to your motor so the block might still be good just needs a new head and pistons. I like rebuilding bc then you know whats in it and how its been treated. there are whole engines and parts all over the forum just start looking
