Ebay, Craigslist or one of the MB recyclers.

I got mine by placing a "wanted" ad on Craigslist.

If you want a good running Engine you are better off buying a whole Car that can be test driven.\; unless you plan to rebuild it.
Some people have bought Engines (from private parties) that were out of the Car only to find they bought another worn out Engine.

Before getting one from a Junk Yard ask their warranty policy or you could purchase their Insurance on it if they have that. That way you will not get stuck with something usless to you.

Look for a rusty or body damaged car that you can drive home. I found one for $1000. I now have a good engine in my SDL and a parts car. I have pulled about $1000 (new retail value) worth of parts off it so far above and beyond the value of the engine.

What's wrong with the one in it now? Did you break it?
