Answer 1

The guys at the local auto parts store weren't even trying - these motors have been on the market all the way through the '90s. A good auto parts store like NAPA ought to be able to get them. And the dealer will probably have them in stock.

If they don't, you can get them at a decent price through Performance Automotive Warehouse:

do you have the original rods? If so you can have a reputal machine shop recondition them. as far as the bearings...have the crank turned and buy the appropriate bearings for the application.

Ask your local auto parts supplier for an engine rebuilder in your area. You can "google" Jasper Engines too.
