A 455 would be a great choice as a mild build. Readily available 6x heads..flat tappet cam..good power lots of torque.
As far as sourcing a rebuilt shortblock or complete engine..put wanted ads out on Kijiji, Craiglist..or other marketplaces. Many guys are sitting on shortblocks for projects..but will never use them and will sell them. The other way is buying a complete one.but as a fellow Canadian..our dollar really drives up the cost.
