Now that Jones'n has done some legwork for you, check out car-part.com and find yourself a motor.
The LQ9 will cost you more than a LQ4 due to limited availability / production volume and requires premium (the LQ4 will get by on 87 just fine.)
Don't forget to look at the Vans. I saw some good deals there when I was looking.
And lastly, don't be afraid to ship it. KY should be pretty decent for price, but some areas (like Baltimore) the salvage yards want ridiculous money for LQ4's. When I was looking the cheapest 6.0 within reasonable driving distance was $2500. I bought a lower mileage newer engine out of a yard and had it shipped to me. Motor was $1200, shipping (with a 4L80E trans which cost me $800) was $140. Just be sure you're getting what you want.
