I am in need of a new engine for my '57 Tbird, but I am having trouble finding a usable block/engine. My T-bird had a 312 and so I am looking for another 312 if possible, but I realize they are rare so can a 292 if one is available. A bare/short/long block would work and used or rebuilt would be OK. I am located in Prescott AZ, but travel to Southern California monthly so can meet up in Northern Az or So Cal.
I am not sure of shipping costs, but that may also be an option if nothing is available locally.

Thanks for any leads
