Look on the net, the cheapest I have found them is about 1,600 dollars..I am also looking for a used one but no one is selling them.
You can get them from Ford. A good machine shop should also be able to get you one as well as several well know engine shops. New they cost about 1600.00 and need about 1000.00 worth of machine work before they can be used.
I too would go with a Dart block unless you can find a used one for a good price.

stock blocks start cracking at around 500 horses, r blocks the sky is the limit. you might think that they are just for race cars, but even mild turbo kits will snap blocks, and its a requirement to upgrade. There is also a Sportsman block from ford that is stronger than the stock blocks, and also older blocks (70 down) after being machined, have more nickel than stock, and are stronger.

I have a 671 blower waiting to go on top of a r302 block. I would love to have 1,200 horses under my hood...That is why I'm saving up..
I'd also suggest a DART over the R302 for a few reasons, better oiling, stronger mains, larger bore capability, less expensive to machine in the begining, etc...
Brian @ www.adperformance.com [email protected] has good pricing, we have a 302 based DART block on the way for our 93 Cobra. They retail right around $2000 shipped.
I personally have a SVO 351 block for my DR combo and don't expect any issues with 4 digit power numbers.
Tell Brian Rick sent ya...

man those are expensive as hell. Do you think i would be able to find a DART block for cheaper? If so where at? I have checked the dart website but they were asking about $2000 for em and thats not cheack seeing as im aon a budget here. Is there any place i can get a shortblock already assembled using a dart or r302 block?

Companies like DSS, Bennet racing keith craft and CHP off built shortblocks with 4 bolt mains. It'll set you back in the neighborhood of 5k

ya i cant decide between one of those or a 351 i really like the thought of careing over my 185cc heads over to a 408 being blown and get ed to burn me another cam later on down the road. do they make a stronger block then just the regular 351?

You can get 302 and 351 race blocks through FRPP with siamese or non-siamese bores, multiple deck heights, and in iron or aluminum. Same with 429/460 blocks.
Thats the ticket, all-aluminum twin turbo 514 backed with a T-56 in a late '60s Torino.
