So you pay full price in a local junkyard? They expect you to barter with them. Have you priced the shipping costs for an engine lately? An engine weighs 500lbs, and Cleveland Pick a part is in Ohio. 2200 miles away. So, even if they had an engine, you will be sticker shocked at the shipping costs. I recently sold a subframe that had to be delivered to the buyer, because most refused to pay shipping costs. The Rotisserie (Weight was 460lbs) that I sold was picked up by the buyer, but people were shocked at the costs for me to ship these items.

As for the wiring and accessories, then I would suggest getting a harness from Speartech or Ironworks. Ironworks is nice because of the canon plugs. Every engine that I replaced, I tend to buy new accessories.
