I've got one in CO, or my friend has a good running long block, head shaved to 9:1, 2.5 cam and 2bbl Weber. Mine had a blown head gasket. I had bought it along with a bunch of other parts from a guy who had sold his Rover. I never had it in the truck, just pulled the head, which is how it's been sitting for many years since. It would probably need to be cleaned well as who knows what's gotten into it, but I'd part with it for $50 + whatever shipping would be. Somehow I'd bet bearings are cheaper than shipping though. I have also heard there are places that can re-babbit old bearing shells, so that might be an option.
