In a bind, need help

Some of you may already know that the 305 tpi we swapped into my bird in the spring threw a rod friday morning. Thisleaves me in a delicate situation. I have the 97 to drive, but it was supposed to be parked for various improvements, one of those being paint, and i am at the mercy of my painter. He wants the car by a specific date to make sure it is done by a specific date.

So i need something to set in my bird quick. I have a line on a motor that will need a rebuild, but i am also looking for something that could be dropped in and driven.

I have the tuned port and all the access, so i am basically needing a decent long block.

If anyone can help, let me know,

What about the guy selling the L69 longblock? You could probably pick that up cheap and run with it till you can rebuild the 350.

Aw sorry to hear that man. If it makes ya feel any better, my car decided to blow an intake gasket really bad that day. I had to stop to fill up with water 4 times on the way home from St. Charles! Had it apart all weekend. Just got it timed and running right Monday finally. And now I'm pretty sure I need to replace the alternator soon too
