for what its worth your best just re building your existing engine,that way atleast you know its decent,a second hand engine could be worse than the one you have already got and if your engine and frame numbers are matching you would be de-valueing your bike by fitting another engine with a different number on.
if your confident in re-building it your self im sure norbo could supply all the parts needed to rebuild it fairly cheap,if not its not that expensive to get a engine rebuilt profesionaly.
what exactly is wrong with your engine,you said bottom end so im guessing main or big end bearings,maybe crank damage?

if you cant fined a MK3 botton end you can still use a MK1 or MK2 you just need to put a new conrod kit in as this is the onlt diferance. The NMK3 has a 5mm longer rod.
