Hi, thanks for that recommendation. I've used that salvage yard sit for many years. LA however is very quickly picked over. I've been to the yards here. It seems that there are many scavengers. Subaru engines are gone the same day, wires cut. I saw General Disorder mentioning to just find a lower mile engine rather than try to rebuild a high mile 2.2 because they seem to run forever. I was Hoping they or someone else had one laying around or was in business who could get me what I need. The idea of going to a yard and pulling a mystery motor is no longer in the cards for me.

Hi all! I have an 85 VW Vanagon camper with a slowly dying oem engine with much less than it's original 70 hp and now live in California. CA only allows the Ej22 swap officially and I've been eyeing these as an easy reliable engine with few fitment issues. I was reading recommendations on this forum, and thought you're the people to reach out to. Can any of you source a good 2.2 in a vehicle for me and then ship what I need with the engine? I need the exact harness from that vehicle, the ECU and some specific mounting hardware for the swap kit I'm planning to use. I see cars pop up on facebook and CL but only high mile vehicles...300k or so and I read you don't recommend rebuilding high mile ej2.2 engines when you can cheaply buy a good working one with 120k to 200k. I think that's a decent point. What have you got? Thanks, Scott
