how should I got about getting my hands on a decent engine to swap with my 8v? Should I be looking at junkyards? On craigslist? Or should I be looking to swap a new engine? How much would this cost if done right?

thanks,

Never bought an engine or trans there that was in decent condition.

If you know the person you are buying the part from and trust them you have a chance of getting something the is ok.

At least in a junkyard you have the option to take a bad part back and exchange it. I like getting parts that are already in a car, you can drive the car and get an idea if the part even works first.

Good luck on your "swap" hunt.
