I need an engine for my 1970 Powerwagon. It used to be that you could find decent ones in salvage yards, but when scrap prices went through the roof a few years back a lot of older vehicles got shredded.

For something that old, you’ll have to go with a remanufacted long block (if they still exist for that year series), rebuilt crate motor or find a decent basic block & heads and do a ground up rebuild then swap it in when you are done. Or yank your existing to do a rebuild.
