Welcome to LA JDM's live inventory page for Japanese domestic market (JDM) engines, transmissions, front clips, and parts.

Whether you're rebuilding a daily driver or completing a performance swap, you'll find a solid selection of genuine JDM units ready to ship.
This page is updated regularly as new stock arrives. If you're searching for a specific engine code or vehicle application, browse the listings below or contact our team for guidance. Extended warranties and free shipping are available on select products.
JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market — parts and powertrains built specifically for vehicles sold in Japan. Because Japanese regulations historically encouraged lower annual mileage and strict vehicle inspections, JDM engines are widely valued for their condition relative to their age. When you buy a JDM engine or transmission, you're getting a unit built to Japanese factory specifications, which can differ from USDM (US domestic market) versions in displacement tuning, emissions equipment, or output.
Purchasing from a domestic importer like LA JDM means your engine has already cleared US customs and is on the ground and ready to ship. More importantly, our units are tested in the US for quality assurance before they reach you — giving you a level of confidence you won't always get buying overseas. Extended warranties are available on select inventory, and free shipping options mean you can factor in your true cost upfront.
A JDM engine is ideal if your chassis, transmission, and ancillaries are in good shape and you simply need a fresh long block or complete motor. A front clip — which includes the engine, transmission, front suspension, and sometimes wiring — is a better choice when you want a complete, matched drivetrain package or when sourcing individual components has become difficult. Browse our current listings to see what's available in each category.
Before purchasing, confirm the engine code, mounting configuration, and any transmission or ECU requirements for your specific vehicle year and trim. JDM swaps often require additional adapters, mounts, or wiring harness modifications depending on your application. When in doubt, reach out to our team — we're here to help you match the right unit to your build.
Yes. All engines and parts sold by LA JDM are tested in the United States for quality assurance. We are a California-based importer committed to delivering units that meet our standards before they ship to you.
Extended warranties are available on select products in our inventory. Check individual product listings for warranty eligibility details, or contact us directly to ask about coverage for a specific unit.
Free shipping is available on select items. Eligibility is noted on qualifying product listings. Because engines and transmissions are heavy freight items, shipping logistics vary — our team can walk you through delivery options for your order.
In many cases, yes — but compatibility depends on your specific vehicle, model year, and the engine you're swapping in. Some JDM units are direct replacements, while others may require additional modifications. We recommend confirming fitment details before purchasing.
Our inventory is updated on an ongoing basis as new JDM stock arrives from Japan. If you don't see what you need today, check back regularly or get in touch and we'll let you know when matching stock becomes available.
