I need an engine for a 78 VW Beetle, either complete or longblock. I'd prefer one from the east coast or mid-west so that I can go pick it up. Any sugestions?

As far as shops make sure you search for quality as one of your top things on your list, it may cost more up front, but no since buying junk. As well get if you don't know anything along the way, stop and ask make sure you get what you need:

if you wanted to go cheap, id check out junkyards. and then you could buy a complete rebuild kit to make all the internals fresh.
