It's usually a crap shoot buying used motors, unless you find one still hooked up and running. Then, you might be able to do a compression test, hear it run, and maybe even drive it. But if you want my advice, find a good running parts car. Snag the motor and then sell off parts to offset the cost. It's more work, but there are a lot of advantages to doing it that way. For instance, you will probably end up using various other odd parts that would normally nickel and dime you to death.
