Well the common one is a H22 swap, which is in the 1-3k range.

The more expensive option is a k24a2 which is in the 5-8k range.

craigslist, ebay, engine importers. engine importers tend to be a bit more expensive but there is usually a warranty. craigslist you can usually find cheap engines, but if they are stolen or run are in question.

I'm not sure there is a difference between 01 and 02s.
