Default pi motor swap

Well we finally gave up and took my car to the ford dealer to have it loooked at. My problem was it was smoking and misfiring so we changed all the valve seals and nothing changed the plugs, changed the pcv put oil additive did a leakdown test the compression was good so we gave up and took it in. They called the next day and said i was something with the #4 cylinder and they have to pull the vavle cover off to check the vavle train. And i dont know what is exactly wrong i didnt get to talk to my dad about it yet cause he was at work but he said i need a new motor. With that being said im kinda excited cause im going to drop in a used pi motor and all my mods in my sig will match up so im pretty damn excited. Does anyone know where i could look for a used motor? I know that car-parts.com place already... Does anyone else have any other sites? Any help would be appreciated its my DD. As of now im using my dads truck right now cause hes a state trooper so well obviouly he doesnt need it during the week cause he has his cop car but if he needs it for something im stuck without a car so i wanna get this done asap. And dont post new motors please. Im not looking to spend 4,000 on a new motor. I found motors with 55000mi and there only around 1300 so think around that range. Thanks.

use your non-pi block and find some pi heads, just get your block reworked, or find a pi motor in general, but pi heads on a non-pi block will put your compression higher then a full pi block which in return will give you a few more ponies. but its all what you can afford. i know some people down here with motors for sale, but your in NJ.
