Where to buy a new engine???

My 95 Camry is about to need a new engine. I usually build my own motors, but I dont have the time {too many other projects}. I dont want to take a chance and buy a motor off the internet, that when it arrives, turnes out to be a worn out pos with new engine paint.
Can any of you recommend a place to buy from?? Ive searched several engine sites that have what im looking for, but again I dont want to learn about them the hard way. thanks in advance, Mike U.

why not try for one of the JDM engines that you can find around. When I was in the auto repair industry we used to get a lot of engines from a dcompany called ATK. I had a guy asking me about it the other day. We used them at the Toyota dealer I worked at for the ones that didnt want to pay Toyota prices for a replacement engine, which was the majority. When I was doing ti they came packaged ina nice crate and all. They are a little bit pricier than some of the others but may be worth it in the long run. Have used some Grooms engines and they dont seem to hold up as well. Have never used Jasper engines buit have heard they are good also. Got a link for ATK if you want to check them out.
