Angry WTB: Entire Engine!

My '98 blew up (seized).

Want to do engine swap.

low miles preferred.

I'm in California.

I'm open to suggestions for sources.

Thanks.

Are you looking for a running engine? or would you consider a rebuilder?

Member "tophast" or "2phast" had a good engine (rebuilder) - he is in LA. See if you can run him down - if not I think I have his contact info. Iscoot is also out there and may have some contacts. Proud Poppa, site moderator, is also in SoCal and may have some leads. Any clue why is cashed?

Thanks for the help. I think it seized because it burned off too much oil and was running without proper lubrication.

I am looking for a running engine, preferrably one with low miles, I started my calling of motorcycle salvage yards today, hoping to get lucky.

I will do a search for those guys, if you have any more info, please feel free to PM me or post here, thanks.

Do you have a builder? I'm looking for something to build up so that I do not have any downtime. Thanks!
