junk yard is the only place to get one at a fair price.
you just gotta know your junk yards.
where else can you buy parts for 5 buck and sell them on ebay for 50.

Gotta check the salvage yards. Karl got his 3.4 with like 40,000 miles for about $800. Some are cheaper.
GM doesn't make the 2.8 anymore....only a FWD 3.1 and the 3.4 HT crate motor which is around $2,400.

Ship nationwide, cheap, and you can pick and choose what you want... more money = less miles.
