John,
My machinist sleeved a 454 block down for my car. It has worked out very well. We ordered a second set of Darton sleeves and did a second block at the same time while we were all set up for the job. I believe he would sell the second block, as we have never needed it in our program. If you will PM me or email with your contact info, I'll get you in touch with him. He could also do the CNC boring/honing to your requirements, align hone and square it, install cam bearings, etc if needed. Shipping might cost a few bucks, whatever the actual cost is, we're up in the Northwest.
I also have a spare 396 block #3916323 date code J 8 7 which I believe to be Oct 8, 1967 and according to Mortec is a 1968 block. I'd appreciate anyone chiming in with the value on that block, or if anyone needs it let me know.
