Default wheres cheapest place to get short/long block

Im just to looking to replace the blown engine in my car cheap as possible with a new engine. I want to find prices for a new stock motor so I can compare it to a used engine price.

oh and buying something as cheap as possible isnt going to be our greatest best. youll probably be looking at around 3k for a decent short block and thats only if you can do the work urself

Why not buy a core and rebuilt it yourself?

Texas speed had great prices on their forged SB's when I was in the market, Thats why I have one. Check out their stock long blocks if your heads are shot too.
