or here piston heads

there seems to be some decent ones about
and as for the engine rebuild , yeah they tend to go around that mark but like everything if its treated well then all will be well
a deffinate must for a scooby purchase is a FULL service history, if you can get that then brilliant ie receipts , mods , car maintainance
good luck
