Scratch that, I just read all of those posts...(45 minutes later) they just
lost $1500 in business...

Anyone know where I can get a good rebuilt long block?

Perhaps you should read this first:

I have heard that they are expensive and they don't like to take

work...but if you aren't lucky..good luck!

Check with DOA. DOA has decent service.
