98 chevy 3500 crew cab 4x4 engine advice

[Jmac]

Hello
I just bought a crew cab 3500 4x4 which has no motor.
The previous owner took it out to rebuild it(454), ran out of money and sold the long block. I have been looking for a long block and gm wants close to 5 grand which seems kinda high. I have found a few long blocks for sale on Ebay but im not to sure how good they are. Does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced 454 l29 long block? any advice would be awesome!

Thanks guys I'm just trying to put back what was there just to make it a little easier. I want it just to have as a tow rig and truck if I need it. Just didn't know if anybody had any experience with any reman motors? Thanks again
