There are some yards on south Santa Fe. I can't think of the names but they are there.
Correct, but I believe a short block is sold at a fixed price. For just a dead hole due to a scored or cracked cylinder, that should be all that's needed. That's why you find cylinder heads, manifolds, and all sorts of other stuff laying around the carcass; people only take what they need to avoid getting pinched at the register. (Sometimes, that has saved me a lot of work, too.)

There are also several salvage yards at Tower and Colfax. They do the dismantling, so their prices are higher, but a phone call is all you need to get the info from them.
