Default URGENT replacement engine needed.

Does anyone know anywhere that sells replacement engines?

Ive got a 1.8TD escort estate and the engines been cooked (cracked head, fucked water pump...) The car has been loaned to us by someone and i need to replace the engine before giving it back. Does anyone know of anywhere i could get one? enginesRus are something along those lines.

thanks
