Bare Block 390

I am currently in the market to purchase a bare block 390 for my 68 that I want to build from frame up. So far I have only found used ones that people have collected from junkyards and I would really like to avoid that route for obvious reasons. If I cant find a bare block, I would be willing to go for a short block and then part off the pieces I get so I can start from square one. Any help would be great.

Anyone know of a place that sales short blocks. After a few calls and talking to a variety of people, that sounds like a better bet for me.
