what for an engine? try ebay or ssc or your best bet is too have a gander round the local scrap yards.

got my gearbox from 'find-a-part'.. Pretty good!

Supply and fit from companies like GMC/Cituning/Carworx etc may seem high. But they arent bad as they usually only use engine,loom and gearbox etc from a car less than 3 years old, and with less than 30k on the clock.
Plus, they guarantee their work and the engine for a certain amount of time too..
Also their experience in doing this sort of job is worth good money too.
