Anyone have a good source for a 6mge swap donor?

I've weighed my options for a project engine and I'm really liking the looks of a supra swap. building a 22re would be cool, but an i6 would be cooler.

I'm looking for a front clip w/ a 6mge. I want a 6mge b/c it has the power of a 7mge and supposedly not as many issues when squeezing it into the 22re's old living quarters. I know the supra swaps are gaining popularity (as seen by doing a search on this board) so someone has to have a good source for JDM front clips.

P.S. this one on ebay is calling my name, but unless someone here has a very convincing argument about how easy it is, I don't think I'm ballsy enough to tackle a turbo swap.

bump...
I guess it would be easier to get a JDM 6mge and a US parts car to pull from. If I want to do a 6mge should I be looking for a 5mge or a 7mge parts car. I want the easiest swap possible as far as motor mounts and tranny bolt up go. I'm expecting the typical pusher fans and oil pan issues that everyone seems to have run in to. (I still have yet to see a writeup for a good oil pan solution for putting a supra motor in a 4wd IFS yota pickup) has anyone?

I only think the the 5m and 7m where US... I didn't know that the 6m was available in states.

it isn't, but you can get them from a JDM (japanese domestic market?) importer. I'm just trying to round up all the info I can to make it an easy (relatively) swap.
