Real sorry to hear it wcroft987 
I know you said you dont need too much power but to do a motor and not upgrade those tooth picks we call stock rods would be crazy. Unfortunately it's not going to be a cheap, and you have to make the decision on if your only buying a short block, or a complete Long Block. I'm at work and dont have the links handy but all our big vendors / tuners can help you.

You need to simply make a few calls and get price and availability. JDM, JLP, and LFP usually have them in stock ready to go, PSP builds them specific for your set up.
Another option is to buy a complete used Lightning motor and just drop it in and be back on the road in no time. Rich (Hostile) is ready to sell his to make room for a built motor

What you want for the engine? No supercharger?
Thanks,
