Default Where to buy block

Where would one look to buy a BP engine cheap that I could rebuild? I am worried mine will one day bite the bullet so I am pondering rebuilding a spare to have ready.

Thanks,
Gilon

Theyre all over fb marketplace by me, can’t imagine that’s not the case in south Florida too.

What is the average price you guys see? I don't want to pay more than $1000 for a undocumented VVT and they are all 1200+ around me in alabama.

$750ish seems like the baseline by me.

Hey, I’m in SW Florida (Bradenton) I bought a spare MSM engine to use the head out of. I have leakdown numbers and haven’t taken it apart yet. PM me if you’re interested.
