Just curious, no motor to offer you
If you are willing to consider a replacement motor that either "ran when removed from the vehicle" or "runs but needs work", why not get your present one rebuilt? There seem to be 10 flathead specialist rebulders for every Chev rebuilder. I've even found a shop that will sell you a newly cast block set up for 289CID displacement. Is it that you want to keep the present motor in the carrier until the new one is ready to drop in? Rob Clarke may be able to help you with a motor (not much known about the condition), the problem is that it is mounted in a truck that he'd probably want to sell you as a package.
