Need an engine for my second-gen

I'm looking for a a used 3S-FE engine for my '91. Anywhere in particular I should look online? Or should I just try to frequent the scrap yards for something with supposedly low miles? I'm keeping the car because it's in great physical shape and with it being a 5 speed, the gas mileage is incredible, a/c works great, interior and paint are good, and there's no rust whatsoever. I'm not an expert in engine removal and installation, so I'd have to have someone do the work for me, or at least guide me through it. I live in southern PA, very close to the MD border, and about an hour or so from DC.

well i'm sure the mechanic can source an engine for you... or you can use car-part.com to find one... besure to do a compression test b4 buying one.. or you can buy a used JDM engine which can be found on ebay.. just search for 3sfe on there i'm sure u'll find some... and those are pretty low milage around 40k usually.. and once you get the engine besure to replace the belts/gasket it's easier and cheaper to do while it's out of the car hope this helps
