Hey everyone. I am searching for a good 5.9 magnum motor, hoping to find one decent enough that I only have to redo the top end. In my search I have found the car-part.com has some outrageous prices now, when I first started looking but didnt have the money set aside, they had them for $600 under 100k miles. Now those same motors are around $2k. There is LKQ out here, but I am looking for a car that has been crashed and there are none within 50 miles of me. I want a car that was crashed because they are less likely to be there for motor issues. I'm looking for any tips or stories of finding a good donor motor from a junkyard and more affordable options in this crazy market. I have also looked at ATK motors, but I have seen a lot of really bad reviews from them as of late.
TIA
