Kinda bummed out

Well I just found out that the 350 in my Delta is seeping oil thru the head gaskets.

It doesn't seem to be leaking too much oil but it was recommoned by my mech that I don't race the car again until I get the motor rebuilt, but I can still drive it no problem.

I have the 395558 block with 5 heads. Personally I think it's worht rebuilding that block as opposed to swapping in a different block, becuase the newer block might not be a 395558 and the 455 will need new manis, cowl hood, etc.

Mondello, I know they aren't too well liked on here) has a 350 diesal block for sale. It's a brand new block with the pistons and crank already installed. It's $1500 plus shipping. This can be used as an unleaded motor with all my current parts. Is that correct?

Anyway, the rebuild is getting expensive already and I'm no where near doing it now. I only found 1/2 the parts and with the block and head work I'm guessimating over $5K

Any suggestions on where to go for the parts other than Mondello, Summit, or Jegs?
