i hate to say it, but try eBay... i have seen many aristo motors and such on there... HOWEVER just be cautious, ask LOTS of questions and check the sellers feedback. in short, do ur homework and u should be fine

also try www.car-parts.com
it's a nationwide network of ahem, auto-recyclers and it always does a good job of finding stuff for me.

i wouldnt suggest venus auto. i got my motor set from them, and then later found it had spun bearings. after being told the motor tested fine, and then sending metal through the head, turbo, ect... i am now left with pretty much blown everything and they wont do anything about it. IMO, go anywhere but venus.

Ouch.. sorry to hear. Those were just what i found from searching. I guess Venus is off the list of choice then.
