ok finally rec'ved my compression tester in the mail and did the test -- cylinder 3 has 0 psi which means I have a bad head!

I am gonna start looking for a replacement engine now! Is there a compatibility list out there?

Did a quick search on craigslist and there is a 2000 v70xc with a bad fuel pump for cheap. Should I get it and swap the fuel pump? Or should I swap the engine? Which do you guys think is easier?
