Well, my head gasket went, causing a lost of oil that caused significant bearing wear and now I can't keep oil pressure up even with 20w-50. I need a new engine, well a new used engine. Anyone know where I can find one and what is a good price for such an engine? I don't have alot of time or money and am not sure if it will be worth rebuilding my current motor. It will have to wait until I finish school.

Per PM, poster is not looking to buy an engine from anyone in particular. Just looking for options on sourcing a used engine. Discussion topic (not best suited for BST).

Your best bet is probably to check out a local junkyard. Start by asking for a Neon block. They are usually a bit more common to find in yards than an Eclipse/Talon.
Lots of guys sell engines in the BST section here as well. You can always put a post up there, but of course distance may be an issue then.
EDIT: The third option is to rebuild the one you got. Bearings are not that hard to replace. You just have to pop out the crank. Short of any other major problems, they are usually pretty easy to fix up, you just need some time to do it which it doesn't sound like you have right now.
