Well I guess I am guilty of adding a thread that started the "junk Yard" syndrome.
Locally the used engines come from a salvage yard. You know the kind of vehicles that get rear ended or whatever at an early low mileage age. With replacement warranty also.
Do what makes you feel right. I was only giving an option that has worked locally.

Yeah, my buddy bought a used powerstroke diesel from a low mileage tow truck that had been in a rollover accident. His logic was, "hey, it was upside down for a while....that got oil up into the topend, so it's well preserved" :B
Turned out to be a good engine indeed.
