i want new engine

anyone know where i can get a 305 or 350 tpi (prefer 350) that is either rebuilt or has decent miles in it? and one that wont cost too much. is there any sites or anyone thats selling one? i looked in the classifieds but didnt really see anything, so is there a site or a place i can go to find one not too expensive?

the junk yard is a good place. Ive seen low milage lo5 and l31 350 ci engines for less than 800 bux. You could even get some salvaged l98 heads for not too much if you hate the hassle of using the l31 vortecs. Just search the salvage yards out online. Lots of them have sites that you can visit and check their invintory.
