    Most auto parts stores sell remanufactured engines. There is always the junkyard

    Yes. I would look for a good used roller 302 and a $100 older, worn-out 302 for the front sump oil pan, timing cover, accessories, brackets, etc., to swap to the roller. If you buy a new long block you're also going to need that stuff.

    http://www.searchtempest.com/ will search all craigslists (and other sites) within a specified distance of your zip code.

    If you search this web site you'll find lots of info on the I6 to V8 swap.
