You really can't get a very worthwhile engine for that price. A ZC would be as good as it gets under $1k.

quality zc, d16y8 or d16z6 can be had for less than $1k

if you get creative you can find used b16a1s from someone selling them (not an importer) and get it for less than $1k but i'd be beware of the engine's condition

You could get the swap for that much, but the mount kit and maint. parts would kill him.
