engine blocks

Hello all. I am new here and I have a 1985 F150. The truck has been parked for about a year when I had to move it. I put a new battery in it and used some ether in it and after about 10 mins it finally started. I was elated. Then I noticed that it was running hot so I took it to the water hose and started filling the radiator and noticed that as fast as I was putting the water in it was pouring out the passenger side of the motor. It appears to be a busted block. Is there any place online that I can find a block to replace the one I have. Also what would I be looking as far as the cost. I have tried searches and I find rebuilt motors all over, but I can't find just the blocks. BTW the searches is how I found this site.
