need a little help

I will be helping a friend w/ a 99 C2 and I am looking for a motor for it. Could anyone recommend a good place. I am close to Oklahoma Foreign, who deals in a lot of porsche parts but they currently do not have a motor for the 996 N/A.

I am in Oklahoma for reference. It doesn't have to be close.

Thanks in advance.

Brad

He bought it from a guy who damaged the rad and decided to continue driving it while it was overheating.

My buddy purchased it today for a great price and I will be pulling it out or shall I say down and going through it. It is leaking a lot of oil when it turns over so I am concerned about the integrity of the block or shall I say whats left of it.

The rear would not open as the guy broke the cable today on it when we got there to look at it. Nice one.

I'll post pictures of the car and build.

Thanks for all the help. Found a couple engines in Dallas if I need a new block to work with.
