I mean, it's hard to know what you're getting. The easy answer (but isn't necessarily correct), is to find a shop that does an actual compression test, and buy the lowest mileage engine they have. LKQ auctions on eBay are a good option. There are lots of "local" salvage yards if you include Pennsylvania, I'm happy to provide truck services if that's helpful.
