I used junkyard dog and searched for 3L's from 99-up Taurii and I came up with prices everywhere from $550-900 depending on condition, miles, etc

I think I am gonna try a local source though because I want more than just the shortblock......

The price I got was $525 for a complete motor using "JYD"... from an Albert Lea, MN wrecker.

From my various inquiries over time you are probably going to have to buy the whole engine, not just the short block. I haven't tried too hard to see if anyone would buy the heads back, but I had no luck getting any junkyard interested in buying my complete SE engine (still in my car while I get my ducks in a row to do the 3L!).
