At a local junkyard. I've gotten way to used to my regular junkyard, with $50 engines. I asked the lady behind the counter how much it was for curiosity's sake, and when she told me I was literaly and she laughed. That's just a tad outside my price range.

You should see what the cost of the parts is to rebuild one!

Try Aaron's Auto Wrecking in Seattle, WA; ask for Tom Keys 1-800-541-7271. Only downside might be the cost of shipping.

I've seen more surprising things. If the engine is in good shape, thats not bad. I agree with what Emily said! Check the parts price to rebuild and then play around with the labor hours at 30- 50 dollars per hour.
