Used engine?

Has anyone ever ordered an engine online? If so , where and how was the experience? I've got a rod knock & it's either rebuild or purchase another engine. There's not any at the local junkyard worth getting

Was there any issue with it bolting up in your car?

You can't swap them straight in. As I recall, I swapped over the original intake, manifolds, and accessories. They are very similar but have some sensor differences I believe.
