Why not get the one you have rebuilt? I'm willing to bet you're not going to find a "new" motor of that age. I'm also willing to bet you can have the whole thing done without you getting greasy for $1200. Now if you took it out yourself and brought it to a machine shop, maybe $400-$800 depending how bad it is inside and the quality of the shop.

My brother just pulled his inline 6 out of his 96 F-150 and is replacing it with an old 460. If you want, I can check and see if he still has it and wants to sell it. He lives in the Temple area.
