454 w/ bravo II drive
I thought I would post this request in the local area. My 268 Sundancer's 454 engine is now toast. The short story is the block is no good as it ingested a lot of saltwater. However the components are still in good condition. So. I am in search of a replacement 454 long block. I live in the state of CT, but not sure where to look for a replacement long block. I've tried the usual Craigslist and Marketplace.
Does anyone have any suggestions or success stories on where I should be looking?

Thank you in advance,
Bob
 
And make sure you get a MARINE 454. I CAR 454 has a different cam, boat wont get out of the water on plane. I knew a guy found out the hard way, got a 'deal' on one, AFTER the engine was in the boat, it wouldnt get on plane. Had to pull the engine again and have the cam replaced.
 
I have a bare 4 bolt block if your looking to have one rebuilt with your crank, rods etc - Im in western MA
