Actually got it through Jerry Lemond who still has some pull at the Isuzu warehouses. It was a bit pricey, but the peace of mind knowing that it has the new piston's and rings, and isn't a rebuilt/remanufactured motor was worth it. I haven't seen it yet, but apparently the engine came with everything (valve covers, water pump, timing belt, timing belt covers, oil pan, etc., etc.) on it minus the intake so the swap shouldn't take as long because all of that stuff doesn't have to be transfered from my old engine to the new one.
When the order was put in for the engine last Monday, there were only 16 of these engines left in the country.
