It is still possible to buy complete engines although rebuilders don't like
to do it, as they have only so many of the expensive, difficult to obtain
parts available.  It's easier to get a brand new Renesis, since Mazda still
makes the new parts.  You can even buy a factory-new crate engine of those.
If you know who you want to build your engine, then just call them and see
if they'll sell you a whole one.

If you want to build it yourself, then just do some sleuthing.  Wrecked
RX-8's are fairly common.  There's a guy I know outside Seattle with about a
hundred RX's of all generations in his shopyard, going all the way back to
the early 70s.  There are fewer and fewer 3rd generation RX-7 wrecks because
there aren't too many of them left and the owners now tend to be careful
with them, but sometimes they turn up.  rx7club.com has an active
buy/sell/trade section.  For a core engine, it doesn't really matter what
its history is.
