Many of the people who steal engines like that have a few options for under the fly sales. A buddy of mine about 2 years ago bought an Integra LS motor for his CRX from a guy. The guy said it was low miles and great strong engine. Turns out my friend finds out this motor is stolen, and that this guy is in a engine theft group. This guy also has friends that want these engines and pay for this guy to steal them. But, retirement came early(jail) and lets just rest assured, this guy is no longer in the business. I wish you best of luck. P.S. - I would go around asking some Honda guys what shops they recommend going for a type of engine that you had. Maybe prowl the streets seeing some Honda guys and curiously ask if they know where to purchase cheap engines. That is the method my friend used once his new LS engine disapeared, and it worked just fine.
