cheap rebuilt 2.8L engines

hey, my 2.8L spun a camshaft bearing. I know it is only a matter of time before the engine locks up. Does anyone know the cheapest place to order a rebuilt longblock 2.8L? for maybe 500 or so?

Camshaft or crankshaft?

The junkyard might be your best bet; especially if you luck out and find a low-mileage block.

That place is g-o-d. I'll be ordering stuff from them when I get out of college in 5 years...

It's not rebuilt, but they run when they pull 'em, prices vary depending on milage and overall condition.
