A guy at work wants to get a ruined unfixable 4 cylindar
jixxer motor for some reason. Where should he look
for such a thing?

Hit up any 18 year old squid at any Thursday night bike night! "Oh, you mean these things have oil in them and it needs to be changed every few years? Like wow! Like I didn't know that man." ;D

On a non-sarcastic note: You said "for some reason", does he actually have a reason? Does he want a lunched engine just to take it apart and see how it ticks? I guess he could check some salvage yards or ask a local bike shop where the local motorcycle/elephant grave yard is? I'm just glad I don't have one to offer him! [thumbsup]

+1 to salvage yards, insurance agencies may be able to help you find where they be.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought. 
I guess a salesman figures a goldsmith with two Ducs has special powers ???

maybe he'd like to turn it into furniture or a display piece?  I wouldn't necessarily scoff at having a displayed engine in my home...

A racer buddy had his Spec RX7 race car crushed into a cube for display in his home. Don't ask me how he moved it around.
