    I 'fetched' one off ebay myself.

    Sorry, I can't remember what I paid for it - but knowing how cheap I am, I'm guessing 'not much' ($20-$25).

    Sorry, but the SOHC block was not aluminum.
    It was a 427 side oiler block with cast in oil drainback tubes for the heads.

    Badass engine though...
