Default Need a junk block for mock-up, Central IL

Hi all, I'm in search of a junk LS block, preferably aluminum, to use for my mock-up. I'm setting up my G-body Monte Carlo for a 5.3 truck motor. It would be helpful to have an extra block just to ease the work a little. I don't care about displacement, or anything. Some junk heads would be helpful too, but not a necessity. Or, if anyone has a plastic mock-up block that would be best. I'd prefer someone close by, so I can pick it up. Willing to buy, borrow, or steal. I'm located in Peoria, IL. Let me know if anyone has something to offer. Thanks a million!

Look up P-Ayr Products replica long block engines. The Ls1 series polyurethane foam blocks run about 400 bucks. Could maybe find a used one or someone willing to let you borrow one.

I have an LS1, but I am in the Chicago NW Burbs.
If you are up for a road trip it's all yours.
$50 if you want the heads to go with.

Thanks for the offer! I'll have to pass though, as even a junk block isn't worth that kind of trip. But thanks, that's very generous of you!
