Roland,

I am sorry to hear about this, but I would advise to not cut corners and use an FE (427/428) specialty builder mentioned above and get it done right. Hopefully it just needs some rings, cam, lifters, maybe rods and they can double check everything else while in there. No need for a new motor would be my guess. Once done though, you essentially have a nice fresh car and it will be money well spent. I have built 3 motors for 3 different vehicles with Southern Automotive, and also hear positive things about Gessford's George Anderson.
