You really can't go wrong picking one from the junkyard, you've just got to be picky about it. I wouldn't bother with the Pontiac 400 though, they just aren't the best motors and they're very heavy.

I bought my 350 from the junkyard for $150 with a guarantee that the block wouldn't be damaged. It came with heads (which weren't guaranteed but work fine) and all of the intake stuff. Its also a four bolt main so it'll take some serious power when I start to put it in...

car shows/swap meets, you might find one in a machine shop someone didn't pick up after getting the work done.
