Cracks between head bolts and coolant passages

I'd been looking for a 360, but the cheapest I can get one around here (whether built myself or buying complete) is 2k-3k. Even 318s are several hundred for a block.
That's worth crossing a couple of state lines for something somewhere else. The location thing can sometimes make a big difference. But you've found that out. Try posting a wanted ad in our classified section. There's a member within driving distance that has something. I'd lay money on it.
