The biggest problem you could run into with it is getting one that has been sitting in a warehouse for the last 8 months.
As for as cost, I presume that you are wanting to swap this into an MR2. That being the cast you would probly be best off going with a rear clip. It's basicly the back half of a Japanise MR2. It includes all the little things that you'd pay an arm and a leg to source if you bought an engine only. Things like water pump, this hose, that coupling, ect ect... You can get them for anywere from $3,000 to $5,000. To a certian extent you get what you pay for, but not always. If you find one for 3k or below, be sure you inspect it well before you buy.
I know places like
Jarco Inc and
Neishlin Motors are reputable and many people have had wonderfull results from them.
