Engine Finder was very helpful and friendly. Only negative issue is that they try and source an engine for 1 day only. They claim to be engine finder so they must keep on searching until they have one or I ask them to stop
I contacted engine finder enquiring about engine search and received prompt response through their customer service personnel who were friendly and helpful.
I found this site and was so happy as it was super helpful to us when we had absolutely no options. I got a same day very professional answer and purchased what I needed which was an unusual item to find. Thank you
After l contact Engine Finder they told me what they going to do, and after everything was done, buyers were contacted me. Thank you Finders

Specs and prices are as recorded on each listing. Engines change between model years, so match the engine code stamped on your block, or ask the supplier to confirm it, before you buy.
It depends on the individual engine — its mileage, service history and how it was driven matter more than the model. Ask the supplier for the mileage and any history they have on the unit before you buy, and keep up regular servicing once it is fitted.
