My 1.9 TDI pulls my jet ski and trailer @1000 lbs very well the motor does not hardly notice it. My ford ranger with its 3L v6 towing the same set up felt slow and labored ,
with the Ranger it felt like i was pulling a 20ft boat.

The auto auctions would be a good place to look.
With what ever motor you decide on getting, the whole vehicle would be the way to go, for the computer, fuse boxes and other electronics that could be left on the car.
