I bought a nice 3.2 liter recently (I realize you are looking for a 3.4 but I bet they have those as well) from Silver Star Recycling in Rancho Cordova, California and had it shipped to Texas. Shipping was only $200.00 so not really a big factor or hurdle in buying long distance. Came with a one year warranty on parts AND labor.

Give them a call or email and ask for JED, tell him Mike Navarro from Texas sent you. No affiliation with them other than being a satisfied customer. Good luck in your search!

what'd they charge you for the 3.2?

Sounds like we have another engine swap coming.

Do you plan on doing any engine work to the new 3.4 to squeeze any more power from it?

Good luck with the swap.

Wow, that warranty is a great deal, also a great deal on shipping!

I've been to Silver Star Recycling (about two hours from me) and they seem like a good lot. They had a bunch of different engines there. They also told me that they compression test each engine. One thing I learned from that visit - stay FAR away from engines that have been through a fire. What a mess!
