JDM used engines

I'm looking for a complete rotary motor to put in my karmann ghia. Has anyone here purchased a motor from JDM Engines? I guess I'm just looking for any advise on a good engine vendor.

Thanks.

I've heard of them (JDM Engines,) but have no experience and no advice about them to offer you. Sorry.
Don't they sell on eBay?
I had heard of the rotary swap into type1 VW's, but never seen one. Putting the hp of a V6 into a type1, if not the torque, should prove to be quite a transfer.
If you get it completed, I hope you report back to us with your opinions and post some pics to go along w/the rebuild. That would be interesting.

I'll be sure and post pictures as they happen. It was either a v8 chevy with tube chassis or turbo rotary for the ghia. Either way, it's going to be fun to drive
