Watch the CoPart car auctions in your area. Look for a similar model to what you already have. Sometimes you can get one that has been wrecked, but has a good engine in it.
What the hey, if you can get one for $50-$60, swap out the engine, part out or scrap the rest, and call it good.
I did that last winter with a 93 Aerostar. I got the thing for $60. By the time I scrapped it, I made a few extra bucks by selling parts off it.
