I hadn't used this site before, I definitely am finding some in the $800-900 range on car-part - thank you! I need to follow up on some of these and see what kind of warranty they come with.

Car-Part is often only as good as the junkyard's inventory guy. If you are seeing yards in your area with pricing you like give them a call and see what stock they actually have on hand- this has worked out to my benefit and detriment in the past. Where you located? I'm sure some goons will be able to suggest reputable yards/engine resellers in your area.

I am in salt lake. I've done the rounds at the 3 pick n pull type lots but did not find any cars meeting the requirements (not that I would know how to go about pulling an engine in a junkyard anyway, but I assume it involves liberal use of a sawzall.)

I have a mechanic I trust in town but he's primarily a subaru guy. He's been looking for engines but has only found rebuilds for 3 grand or more which is too rich for me and this car. I just want a lower mileage used long block that runs OK.

eBay for $500 with free shipping? Looks like $99 gets you a 6 month aftermarket warranty too..
I am in New England so I don't have any local suggestions unfortunately
