Reliable source to buy an engine.

I'm looking for a rebuilt/remanufactured 305 TBI... I was planning on ordering one from sandjengines.com / rebuilt-auto-engines.com (( same ppl )) but after doing my homework on them I started seeing a lot of complaints about them, engines leaking, knocking etc and them not honoring their 7 year warranty. So I'm just asking for some help on finding a reliable source to get this engine from. Also I'm going with another 305 simply because when I have it installed I can use the parts from my old engine to complete it, already thought about the 350 but I decided not to. So I just need some help on finding another 305, thanks in advance.

(( if there's another thread talking about this I'd appreciate if one of you can send the link, and I'll check it out ))

I've installed a few Jasper engines, they are a good place to get engines from.

I am in the same boat as you are however I am looking for a 350 short block as I am under the impression that I can take everything from my 305 and put it on a 350.
