I have a great used one, but it cost a small fortune to ship. Best deal we found was shipping it through grey hound, and that was still expensive

No wonder you haven't been around lately! I thought you had been working hard and all that, LOL!
Maybe it was just talk but isn't there a pan that's split in two so you can remove it without pulling the motor?

So on inspection of the engine i need a rear main and an oil pan so far not to bad. i was looking at rebuilding the oil cooler and i've found the o-rings on riffraff but i cant seem to find the gaskets that go between it and the block or does it come in that kit?
