I'm doing the same thing. But it will certainly cost you money. Joining a club like NJFBOA gives you the opportunity to get advice, help when available, and plenty of people selling parts. While you can usually find what you want from a large group of tuners and enthusiasts, it may take you time to find what you want at the right price. If you absolutely must have the car on the road as soon as possible, find a local mechanic and open the check book. If this is just a weekend car, have patience.
The guys who are selling engines will usually post in the classifieds section when they have one for sale. Look back over some of the older posts, some of these guys have extensive lists (SmokingSS comes to mind) but will require a hike up to where they live at a convenient time for all.
