Just buy the parts and rebuild it yourself. You can purchase a master rebuild kit through summit and do the whole motor yourself. But if you are going to go that way new heads and upper end is a good idea that way there are ZERO miles on the motor when finished.

put in somthign better than stock stuff, put in some forged rods and pistons at least,
since your doing all the work of a rebuild you may as well spend a few hundred bucks more for better parts.
