Good luck.

I can't imagine a new block from the dealer is going to be cheaper than one of those fully rebuilt ones from ebay, but you never know.

So a new one from the dealership costs $851. 

I went to salvage yard and got one with 50% less miles on it for $150 last night and its now at L&L getting checked.

SO if anyone needs to do any head work I'm really good at tearing down and putting it back together.

cool, that sounds like a real reasonable price, and I'm sure L&L will take care of you with fixing up anything that's questionable about it.

So lil red is back up and running!  I got home sunday from vacation and spent last night putting her back together.  Everything was done and as I was tightening the tensioner pully the bolt snapped, I had a few choise words for the occasion.  At lunch today I ran to the salvage yard, removed the bolt from a wreck for $5 an ran home to install and whalah!  I do still have a squeal at cold start for 10-20 sec coming from the ac compressor, can I get in there and grease it up?

the compressor is lubricated by oil that is internal to the compresor.  your manual may tell you how to add some if needed.

no idea.  do the 350 conversion.  350's can be had for a few hundred bucks.
Trust me... not as cheap as you think.

Where is this salvage yard you keep going to? Do they have any good stuff left?
