You're looking for the same 20 year old car in good shape that the owner will sell to you cheap enough to make it worth your time to put that motor into . Not going to happen

A better option might be to find another one with a blown transmission or engine and use the wrecked one for the parts. It's a GM so it won't be hard to find one. GM has been plagued with engine and transmission failures for years, decades in fact, at relatively low mileage. Hope that helps! Jim
