Any later model '87+ longblock or shortblock with the roller cam setup and one piece rear main seal will be a direct drop in.

Your block is "worn out"? How so? How do you know?
The chances of finding a used long block to exactly replace your performance-wise is slim.
However, you could rebuild your current engine, if that's what it needs. Or, get a rebuilt replacement. http://www.rebuilt-auto-engines.com/...04109386401.3b Be sure to tell them what you've got, and that you want 083 heads and roller lifter cam. Two of my brothers have bought a rebuilt from them, still running strong after 4 and 1-1/2 years.
