I see great clips on ebay all the time.
Ideally buy a front clip because it often comes with lots of extra goodies, and eventually you can sell the rest of the front end.
( better yet... import a rear clip and weld them together ) nevermind
order from someone thats on your side of the country. and check their experience and history with regards to the engines they sell.
then once you get the motor, remove the valve cover, and check for rust.
then lastly do a compression test, and send the block to a machine shop for balancing, and maybe even a slight bore.
thats the only/best way to build a motor.
