Cracked 359 engine block

Can anyone please help me out? I have a 1954 Packard Pacific with a 359 cu. inch engine. It was running pretty good the last few years except for some smoke on cold starting and accelleration. My mechanic suggested doing a freshening - up with new rings and some minor parts. Well what a can of worms did I find when opening up this engine!! After finding the cylinder bore taper was not going to be fixed with new rings I was talked into rebuilding the whole enchilada. Now after magnafluxing the block non-repairable cracks have been found.

So does anyone have or know where I can find a 359 engine block with no cracks that are willing to sell at an affordable price ? I never expected this and I always use my Packard to go to shows to benefit the needy - now I find I am in need. Thanks!!!! Steve Perry
