Well, I'd have to disagree (for now anyway)... I haven't gotten everything running smoothly yet (my error in connecting vacuum lines, now have a vacuum leak causing some mild revving and stalling), so it's still possible to have problems, but I bought a JDM engine off of eBay. When I finally got it started, the engine itself sounded great. No knocking or anything else, tt just purred.... So I'm kinda stoked about it. The engine cost me $450 bucks, and I picked it up from the warehouse in LA, so I didn't have to ship anything. Also haven't found any fluid leaks from the engine. Only downside is you have to install all of your emissions components and engine accesories (i.e. alternator, power steering pump, water pump, distributor, etc.), so it can be a headache.
