Could you not order a freshly machined block and put it together your self?
Thats what I did, only used the machine shop to balance the pistons, rods, crank, flex plate and harmonic ballancer. That would allow you to reuse as much as possible and you could ebay your old block, sure some one would buy it if it was rebuildable.
