UPDATE:
FYI to you all...I found a web site called www.partrequest.com and put in the search tool what I was looking for. It cost me I think $3 to run the search, but as a result they emailed a bunch of junkyards and other places and I received about 15 emails from different yards and shops telling me they had the engine, wiring harness and ECU that I am looking for. The price range I was given ranged from about $5500-8000 for the same thing from different places. I decided on a place with shipping worked out to $5850. I ordered the 3.2 'S' engine, wiring harness and ECU. The engine has 14500 miles on it. Was told engine is barely broken in except the car was totaled out. The pictures the yard showed me appears that the engine is prestine!
Anyway wanted to let you all know I had a good experience using that website and would recommend others trying it if you are looking for multiple prices.
I will let you all know after the engine shows up in 2 weeks.
