After exploring options I ordered a used VIN-matched engine with ~86K miles. If I get another 86K with it I'd be satisfied. First thing when it arrives is drop the lower pan to see if there's any like debris while holding my breath in suspense. Also found a mechanic to do the swap on-site. The bottom line is about almost $4K. A new remanufactured long block with installation is >$9K.
