Houston craigslist / 472 street crate engine . Or so it says -
 
there was one for sale in the last week or two on this site .
 
Because the crate 426 is not available you must expand your search . I suggest you contact : Larry Shepherd Engines ,(forhemisonly.com) , or, Ray Barton Racing Engines.com . Both of these gentlemen do crates. There are others , of course , but those come to mind . Good luck !
 
Best bet is contact the usual Hemi specialists and have them price a ready-to-drop-in crate package for you. The old crates sucked, and if you're going to have to have it "fixed" anyway, just have a reputable place build it once. Only other way I'd buy one is seeing it in person, running in the car, as a used engine from someone upgrading.
 
Just as an example of cost : oem vs, aftermarket . A Hemi stock iron rocker is $125.00 each , last time I looked . An aftermarket aluminum roller rocker was $125.00 . No brainer there . A stock Hemi piston is $195.00 each . A, K.B. blower piston is $60.00 each . Stock Hemi parts are stupid money .

Member @Jet has one he posted last week or so. Block only. I posted a 472 Ray Barton Hemi for sale. Complete with 727 headers and March pulley system. Can send video of it running in the car now. It is not standard bore. But is half the cost of one. Will do partial trade for 6.4 Hemi crate. I think I worded that wrong. Crate plus cash

Are you familiar with Steve from the HOT ROD shop in San Antonio. He does custom fabrication on Mopars and was talking with a guy in your neck of the woods looking for a Hemi.
