    start calling you local junk yards, engine recycling places. part outs.

    at least with most junk yards you get a warranty to cover the engine if its bad. not the labor to swap it.

    pick up a new gaskets for the oil pan, lim and sc, and valve covers. swap all that before it goes in the car.

    your not limited to just a GP's engine, regal gs, rivieras, bonnies all work. you need to swap some parts from your engine to the new one.

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW

    Found a L32 out of an '06 that says "3.8L supercharger opt (VIN 4, 8th digit, opt L32)"....for $1500....but no mileage listed.....here in the DFW area....I can prolly pick it up for less since they are advertising it as a delivered price. I am half tempted to buy a beater and rebuild it myself.....but beefier. Dang....we just sold our '89 Ford F150 "ranch" truck since it had been sitting for the past 6 months
