best place to look is either Ebay or local junkyards. Sometimes the local yards are more expensive than Ebay but sometimes they give you a warranty with the purchase, just depends. Another place to look around is 240SXforums.com, or even look around at some performance shops that do the SR20DET engine swap, as they sometimes have the old KA24DE engine that was taken out just laying around to go to the junkyard. It's up to you.

You can find good running KA's on Zilvia.net or Nicoclub.com for 500 and less...

Truth!!! That's a great site, as well as ebay when it comes to used KAs. I'm blocked from both sites though
