Help needed and appreciated

Noob here. Recently purchased a 77 vette, decent enough shape. Tool it to a, refered to me, professional restore garage and got bent over in price and work done (actually not done and/or screwed up).

Will not get my money back or recouped, even if I was to sell it. So I will see it through. I'm needing advice for the cheapest "turn key" or close to it engine. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

I have, and will continue so. Doesn't answer my inquiry for an aftermarket engine. There is a reason for me asking. But thanks for the "drive it" advise.

Paragon might also be a good place to check. I have worked with them quite a few times, and my dad many more times before me, and they seem to be pretty strait up and honest folk.
