Keep looking they are out there, I have two spares ready for rebuilds now, One went pop this time last year while going on my holiday, Spent the best part of £1,000 on it before it went though 
Got another for £50 but found that to be on it's way when I drained the chocolate milk out of it, I was told this was a good un 
So at least one will be good when finished 
Replaced the first one about six weeks back now and all seems fine at the moment.

Take off the gearbox, torque convertor and flywheel and replace with your flywheel clutch and box
Thought that was not a bad price considering a replacement head will cost over £400 without fitting and gaskets, An inlet manifold was £230 2 years ago and then they supplied me with one that was only half finished, no brass inserts at all

Lucky it's pick up only. If he offered postage, it would probably be another £350, lol
