where to get a new engine/which engine

As it says in my sig, my 350 is dying and i would like to replace it. I have a TPI set up and want to keep it. The car has 130,000 miles on it, so i cant guy a radical engine b/c the tranny and the rear will not last long, and i dont have the cash to replace all three at once, but they will all get done eventually. so what i would like is suggestions on what 350 to buy and from where.
thanks

take a look at what gm offers in the way of crate engines. i think the low HP is 250 on up past 400HP and from 350 CID to 510 CID. look at jim pace or scroggin dickie
