350 rocket main caps

so i bought this dissasembled 350 to rebuild and drop in my cutlass. I get the motor home and realize the guy didnt give me the main caps or bolts, and now of course he wont answer his phone. is there anywhere i can find a set of main caps either OEM or reproduction? Im not worried about the bolts, as they will be replaced with arp.

You can't just buy 5 caps and bolt them on. They are machined with the block to be a certain size. Every one, while close, is different.

I wasnt planning on just "bolting them on", the block is definitely going the machine shop to get bored, decked, and align honed most likely.
