Looking for engine block or core for my 1991 D250

[Snowdoggie]

I recently bought a 1991 D250 and found that the engine block was cracked. It's a 360. Is there a source somewhere for these blocks or maybe a rebuildable core for this engine? The local wrecking yards here don't want to deal with anything that old and the one classic wrecking yard I talked to said he had nothing past 1979.

I have a couple of the early LA 360 blocks and some Magnum blocks as well.

I do have a rebuildable LA 360 block with a little bit of damage in one cylinder that would only require a .040 overbore. I also have the matching crankshaft for the block and I may have a set of connecting rods if you are interested.

I would be interested in one of your LA 360 blocks. Where in Texas are you?
