That's what I figured haha.
Called the yard that has the warranties on their engines. Didn't have any 3.0's at the moment, just sold one at the end of Dec. Said it went for ~500. My guestimation wasn't too far off.
Called another yard. They said everything is on a case by case basis. They may have one pulled already, or it may still be in the vehicle. I asked him about a waranty and it didn't sound like they have a policy in place. I told the guy I'll just have to come out and talk to them in person. He said they go for ~300 bucks. I'm hoping to find one in their yard that i can hear run, let them pull it, and take it home.
