Look into getting one shipped.

Many members have done so at a small cost

Yes, people ship engines every day of the year...the cost and hassle are usually lower than you expect. Most of the engine blocks I ship in the eastern US average $150-180 each way.

I did not know that!
It gives me hope that I no longer have to settle for a Reman!

Yep, I received my engine from Oregon and sent back my core for around $200.00. It was a hassle free transaction.

Why would you think you "have to settle" for a reman? There have been private rotary rebuilders since the late 70's/early 80's, and you're right in the heartland for rotary shops in Cali.
