Unhappy blown motor

I have a 84 bronco with a 302 for a daily driver. and yesterday the crank broke just after the #5 rod with no warning. It just turned 176,000 right before it broke, it didn't use oil or smoke & had all kind of power. My problem is I can't find a good replacement. I live in the Pa - Oh area, can anyone help me ? Any info would be great ! Thanks

Have you checked ebay? I know there are some dedicated sellers, who do nothing but trannys and engines. Have you checked pricing on an OEM Ford long (or short) block? I know I would feel better with one from Ford direct, with the warranty.
