I need to buy a 7M-GE replacement, info needed

My car is currently a 7M-GE with the automatic transmission and the 4.3 open rear end.

I am leaning toward putting a new engine in my '90 Mk III as the current one has a rod knocking. I found one site online that is sells a JDM 7M-GE for $850 ($550+$300 shipping to Georgia.) Just found another one for $668 including shipping.

My questions:

1. I would like to replace as little as possible to get fully operational again. Is the 7M the only engine I can use with the existing transmission/bell housing?
2. How much should I be expecting to pay for the engine?
3. Does anyone have good or bad experiences to report with various resellers.

Thanks for any feedback.
