No 'new' engines or transmissions available anymore that I' aware of. There
is an outfit in the northwest that is recommended for rebuilding the trans,
although  I think they specialize in manuals:
http://www.aatransaxle.com/

As for the engine, they are not cheap- $2000~3000 for a complete rebuild,
which is why
some opt for the Subaru, I-4 VW, or some other anomoly.

Here are some links:
http://www.bostonengine.com/
http://www.kennedyeng.com/
http://www.tiico.com/

Don't know what part of the country you are in, which will likely bias your
decision. Good luck to you.

Mike
