Dont know about ebay, but try this site

Appears as if they sell longblocks for decent flat-rate. Might be worth a look. :6

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.

i bought a block off ebay, picked it up. guy busts out digital mitsoyo mics (or whatever hte ---- the brand is) shows the bore at 92mm, but it'll need a hard hone.

i get home, mic it with my mics, it's 93.2mm, ------- garbage. my mics = dead on, i get them checked monthly for free at the tool/die shop my dad works at.

------- scammers
