I pretty much came to the same conclusion and have stopped looking at short blocks. I've found some nice looking reman, 0 mile long blocks but I'm not sure that's the best way to go either. It certainly isn't the easiest or least expensive. Thankfully I can be kind of patient with this so I can keep looking for a low mileage, used, complete motor. I have a line on one from a side impact wreck so we'll see how that goes. I had a mobile mechanic here at the house yesterday helping me put a band aid on my Durango so I can drive that for a few weeks and he quoted me 7 hours to pull the old motor and install the "new" one right in my driveway so I'm leaning in that direction.
