$600 sounds like a lot to me. I can't see a yard charging more than $100 to pull an engine, and the self-service yards I frequent only charge about $200 for an engine with all the components on it.

On the other hand, I paid $400 for my engine, already pulled, with assurances that it had 167k miles, ran well, and it was missing injectors and the turbo. I did get a transmission thrown it as well, but it had a hole punched in the pan that broke the valve body. The engine in fact has done very well now.

If you have other options, look at them first before dropping $600, but if the engine comes with everything and has a good service history, go for it.
