Jeff,
I didn't exactly understand what the engine would cost you with a
core trade in, if you have one. Regardless, $600 is a little steep.
Where I worked, the average MGB engine price was $350, and high was $450.
Don't be dissuaded from buying a used engine however, they can be a
very good thing if you use a little care in picking one out, kind of
like a booger.
The sales dude should certainly be willing to open up the pan for
you and maybe take off a few rod caps. That will ensure that you're not
getting someone else's boogers.
Happy picking!
