I tend to go the other way with the engine rebuild thing...as in, why pay the absurd salvage yard prices on used engines when you can put the same into machining and parts for a rebuild. You'd never squeeze in the labor, though.
I'm thinking you'd probably get quoted anywhere between 600-1200 for a used one with OHMYGAWD 30 DAY WARRANTY! I hate that crap. I could make piston rings out of my own feces and probably have it run for a month. The trick is NOT pulling the engine again within the year.
A few years ago, I would've been more open to used engines and transmissions, but as I said, salvage yards seem to have watched gold prices go up and assumed that's what their crap was made of...
