At this point I am assuming that IF I can get a used block, that I could get this back on the road without too much effort or $$$s. Or, if I wanted to do it right, get a rebuilt short block, with all the new lower half parts. How interchangable are these 2316cc blocks? Is there somewhere that gives a list on what is "swap-able"? I have used "automotiveforums.com" numerous times for my '95 Suburban and a couple of other cars, and have been thrilled with the responses and results. If anyone has any advise about this project, I would be very gratefull. Thanks in advance.

Probably easier to get an entire engine.
