Look in junk yards, that's pretty much all I can say. I lived in OH when I did my swap but purchased my donor car from a salvage yard in St. Louis, MO and drove there to pick it up. You may have to drive a good distance to pick it up.

Price, they vary depending on condition and what the seller is including. Just search around. If you're buying a whole donor car I wouldn't pay more than $4,000. Just the engine/tranny and other misc parts I wouldn't go over $1,500-2,000 but it depends on what they're including. Read through this section, you'll learn a lot on how much it can cost.

Try Ebay, these and related forums, and ridesafely.com is another site that auctions off cars. For example:

Good luck!
