    I would agree that you wont likely find a good running high hp engine that is not in need of a rebuild. If you still want to try that route I have had a hard time finding a list but 1970 was pretty well the peak year of performance. good years were about 1964-1972, any newer and it was pretty much a mutt due to all the regulations imposed. One good bet is to try to find an engine with camel hump heads, a good sign it is a hot engine. www.mortec.com is a good source for casting info and a useful site. one problem with these heads is that most are without accessory bolt holes but i used March Performance brackets which worked better than stock and are nice looking as well. i have included a picture of the camel hump heads just in case you have not seen them before. good luck.
