I bought a six port RX-8 engine from Rupert <tannrup@bigpond.net.au> on Ebay for $1800 plus shipping etc.

This engine is nearly new. It looks absolutely perfect. It was strapped to a pallet and covered with fiber pads and shrink wrap. Fantastic job of packing. I highly recommend Rupert at Asian Auto Spares, 198 Kingston Road, Slacks Creek, Queensland, AU 4127
Tel: (07) 3208 0133 if you need an RX-8 engine.
The paperwork fees from the US shipping companies added almost $200 to the $350 shipping cost. Customs was free, but a pain in the butt. They appeared to automatically assume I was trying to do something illegal or illicit. After a trip back home to gather the invoice and proof that it actually was a used car engine, (and I really did pay $1800 for it,) they acted pleasantly surprised that I had been honest with them all along.
Even with the shipping and BS fees, the total cost was $2345. Not bad considering it came with all the accessories (including the injectors.)
Here is a picture of it in my van after I took off the wrapping.
