Replacement Block for 430 John Deere?

[84 prospector]

I’ve been looking for a new block for my John Deere 430 and can’t find one anywhere online or locally. I’m in California. Any Ideas?
was going to try and salvage my block but found a crack in one of the cylinders, and the pistons are both pitted really bad. Looking for one preferably with the rotating assembly and pistons in it, doesn’t have to be in perfect shape just needs to be able to run and work. I already have a brand new manifold, oil pan, carburetor, distributor, head, and pushrods.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I assume you're deailing with a 2 cylinder version and not the garden tractor 430? If so try this guy in MO. He has lots of
Dubuque stuff.

Thank you. Yes the 2 cylinder version

Look for a gas 440 industrial . The engine souped up for about 5 extra HP.

Have you considered having that cylinder sleeved?

Both pistons are cracked or broken, engine was overheated really bad I’m thinking, it was siezed pretty bad as well. Just trying to do whatever’s cheapest at this point because it’s not a show queen, it’s a work tractor so I’m not so worried if it burns some oil with a used engine as long as it runs decent

Have you considered having that cylinder sleeved?

Why miss your chance to use a 440 gas engine ? Lots of them laying around .

Where can I find one? I’ve called around and am even finding a hard time finding a 430 or 420 block, and was quoted 1,000 for a complete mystery engine and 600 for a short block

Some possibilities

I repeat my suggestion. have yours sleeved, it can't be that expensive. Even if it's 2 to 3 hundred dollars per cylinder still a good deal. And you've got the original block.

That would be my suggestion as well unless the suppliers of the short & long block assemblies are willing to provide warranty on obvious defects that might be found upon disassembly and inspection.....things like cracks, severe corrosion, or wear beyond serviceable limits.
