I had a 6 bolt head from them for a DSM. It was fine, nothing crazy but was a pretty good value. They are close as well so it worked out even better for local pickup. My buddy had an issue with how they assembled a block last winter. I don't recall the details but I know he ended up with a refund and did it himself instead. What about MAP?

Refreshing what a DSM?

A junkyard engine is just that a junkyard engine. Did it come out of a running car? Do the guarantee it to run? Questions you should def ask the scrap yard.

If not make sure it turns over by hand and there is no visible damage to the block and head the pull it apart to send for machining
