Dont know about ebay, but try this site

www.pullapart.com

Appears as if they sell longblocks for decent flat-rate. Might be worth a look.

no, but I bought one from H-T that supposedly "ran perfect" and when I tore it down it had a spun bearing

I once bought a complete engine/trans if that counts.
Drove 4 hours to get it, got a great deal and it's still running strong 20k later. I think it's always a gamble.
