and.......do a google search for wrecking yards in your local area.to get their tel #. Then, start calling the yards tell them what you need. I did this a couple of years back, when my daughter ruined the motor in her car. I found a good motor, and yard guy recommended a mom and pop garage nearby that would swap in the motor for $500, that they work with, and do a good job. I had her car towed to the garage for the engine transplant. The mom and pop garage even picked up the motor at the yard to bring back to their garage. Garage did a good job, best $500 I ever spent. I never went to the yard. The entire transaction was handled over the phone. Just gave them my credit card # for payment.

Those can be really tough to get.

 

 

If it's pre-VVT (I think the '06 Bajas are the only ones that had VVT). You can get pretty cheap SOHC 2.0l JDM engines on ebay and such. We've had very good luck using those, and you probably won't notice the power loss.
