Try the local scrap yards. They surely have some that came in off wrecked vehicles.

I know of a 88 350 long block up here you could pick up for around 250 or so. Heads crank rods it's all there and still bolted together

Dealer listed price $763.64
Both Jim Pace and SDPC have them listed for under $600, but I think that Jim Pace has cheaper shipping.
