<< I am so spent. Ya know, I look left, right, and backwards all over this
 internet trying to find someone...ANYone...who's got a magnum V8. Parting
 out, cheap block that i can work on. I'll tell you this, there's plenty of
 350's out there for 100 bucks, and for some reasom i've found a few V6's,
but
 where the hell are the 8's?!? 318, 360....I'll take just about anything by
 now. I really want the 360 but I've seen alot of you guys pulling 14's with
 the 5.2, so I can take that too. Anyone have a block or knows where I can
 find one?? I need one in the 92-95 year range this way I have minimal
 problems getting in working and passing the inspection. If I can get a 350
 for 100 bucks there's gotta be a 5.2 or 5.9 out there for at least 300
bones.
 Is anyone in the junkyard biz?? Can anyone help me?? Will I ever get my V8??
 This remains to be seen....3 days plus and all I can find are $3000 rebuilds.
 
 Looking for help from "The List"

You arent gonna find one. THese engines are too new, they can run at least
200k. Junkers that find them keep them. You will have to get in good with a
junk yard and hope and wait that a junked truck comes in. You might want to
go Mopar Reman...for about 1500 plus core you get it.
You could buy mine, but you have to buy the whole truck...$9k
