The Canfield 212s have been on backorder for over a year. You cannot get them either.
Why don't you just buy a 408 kit and a $50-100 stock block? You should be able to get a good quality Scat kit for ~$1000 if you know where to look.

RE: 408w... where to buy?
this town in general just isn't really into cars much, and im on a limited budget cause i have to change just about everything on this car.
but honestly, would that ebay motor be able to hold what i'm looking to do? i'm probably going to beat it to crap, being its a weekend warrior, but i'm not planning on doing any kind of positive displacment or NOS.
