Watch Craigslist. I agree with Mike, it's pretty hard to downgrade if you already have a Y7 or Y8 engine. Pretty cruddy designs compared to the earlier engines, IMHO. The D15B is actually a pretty good running engine, too.

I think there is a D15B for sale near me with good miles. He only removed it to go LS turbo. Not sure if he still has it but I could probably find out if you wanted.

i vote check locally, craigslist, other forums, etc. Even scrap yards might not be bad, depending on what they have.

if your replacing your engine, then why not go with a b-series motor? its well worth it IMO
