If money isn't an issue, I highly recommend having a machine shop machine / build your engine for you. If you go through the trouble of swapping in a junkyard engine, you might find that it leaks / ticks / knocks, etc.

Know that you can't start that engine. It'll crank if you bring a battery, but it won't start. The MAF / intake / sparkplug wires / exhaust manifold are missing.

How "blown" is your blown engine? Like headgasket blown? Or rod-knocking blown?
