I don't have any good source for a used engine. But I do have some bad experience in buying part such as differential and recently a Performance Chip from on line.
I was so bad luck that these two deal was terrible . For the differential, the Differential cover was cracked all over when I recieved it. I Emailed the seller and he replied that I can just use my old Differential cover. It seems like He already knows about the condition of the Cover and did not tell me before. At this time, I still have no mood to put this differential on yet. Cause I Afraid that more surprise is coming such as leak or noise.
My chip.....When I recieved it it doesn't work. It was probably damaged during shipping. I had to file a claim thru postal. It is going to take a while.

In conclusion, For engine pls buy it local.
