car-part.com.... Or call around to places local to you. Most any parts store should be able to get you a reman engine.... Probably under 2 grand as well.
I just learned that my engine block is cracked. Looking for resources to find a used or rebuilt 5.2. I'm in the Idaho area. Thanks.
Besides the salvage yards, look for a wrecked truck in the local ads. Craigslist, Fakebook and so on. You might find an older truck that rolled, especially on the rocks in Idaho, and the drivetrain is still good. You then have a BIG pile of spare parts you can use or sell off to defray the cost of the truck.
