1g-gte questions

before i continue, i would just like to say that im new to this scene so some of the question i ask might be stupid, but its new to me 
goin to my question, i would like to transplant a 1g-gte in to my ra23, and i would like to do it myself ( an equally competent mate is helping), 1stly i need to find an engine.
called sss auto and they qouted me $750 without gearbox and intercooler. i would like to know if that is a bargain or i will be looking prices along that mark? would be simple to locate a gearbox and aftermarket intercooler? how do i go about locating a suitable engine, and what are the " catches" i need to look out for in an engine. i was reading in one of the articles and it said, for a ra23, look out for a mid-rear oil sump, is that true?.
any other information will be more than welcomed and would appreciate ne one helping me out here.
i am also looking for boot lid for my ra23. thanks!!

I would buy halfcut if i were you, that way u get everything u need, also you can get them to start it for you before you buy it, atleast that way you know it works.

for that 750 it will be a motor with nothing else attached.. you need a half cut.

SSS is very easy to deal with
my engine needed a new starter motor and they swaped it with no questions 2 months after I brought the motor

I second Dust's idea of buying a half cut, there is so much usefull crap in there that you can use e.g throttle cable, brake master, washer motor ect.
