would it be daft to ask whether you were after a 2.0 or 2.5l m50? I presume the price would differ hugely between the two?

Im sure 'Dan the' has one for sale! (M50/b25)
if your handy with the spanners it would be cheaper to buy a donor car and on the plus side you would also see it running.

Full donor car can be had from 100 quid upwards.
Engine with ancilleries anything from 150-300 I suppose

If buying just the engine my advice either buy from someone you can trust and can be vouched for or insist on some sort of warranty!
Better still just buy a full donor and make some money on the leftovers
