'89 RX engine swap
Hey, what part of Skagit county do you live in? I live in Bow, work in Burlington. I replaced the engine on my RX too, I bought the car in poor shape. I called http://www.foreignenginesinc.com/door/ and the dropped off the engine at my door next day, no shipping charges. They're from Lynwood. It was around $800. Or, if you want to take it off my hands, I have an extra block sitting around. And there is a Machine shop in Mount Vernon, that will order heads for you for $500 I think. --Todd

I got one from http://www.foreignenginesinc.com/door/ in Lynwood. Theynext day delivered to my door for free(40 min drive) Came with all the accessories, which worked fine. I did replace some hoses/sensors, and the wiring harness does come from the opposite side, but It was a simple install even for my first time. Haven't had any problems with the engine

I tried to pull both of mine apart, and there were these tiny screws that would not come out, and pretty much got stripped.
