Default Looking for a motor

Might be a long shot, but I am In search of a good (lower mile preferable) motor from a salvage/parts vehicle somewhat close to Hendersonville North Carolina? I could drive to pick up if I need to.
NOBODY in 100 miles will touch the head to replace valves, due to cost of the job replacing the burnt valve.
I am waiting on several others checking for motors and possible repair.

2015 Q7 Prestige Sline 3.0 TFSI (333hp) 5th digit G

This motor is used in many models across the board.

its an electrical motor, and internal combustion engine, no wonder you cant find one
That is a CTWA engine code I assume. Check wolfautoparts, or other scrap sites.

lots of selection here

Electrical? It is a complete gas motor, but of course, all motors have some form of electrical componants.
I will check with these people though.

I was joking, but

Engines contain their own power source while motors use an external power source. This is why a lot of people simplify it down to say "An engine is powered by gas but a motor is powered by electricity."

its like calling a photo taking with a phone a picture.
