If it was your mechanic that there was a slim chance of finding an engine,
there's a good chance you should find another mechanic.

Here's a link to the one on ebay. It has a buy it now price of $500  and 178K
on it. If it were me I'd want to get it for a little less than  $500. It's in
Washington state.

It's not mine. I'm just passing on the information.
