you may well be better off getting yours repaired......
rings/bearings/balance, throw in a cam/lifters/valvesprings while its apart

would only cost a bit more than getting hold of another standard motor, and you'd have all that much more performance

Try FTG - they quoted me around $3500 for AU1 175kw V8 with auto trans and ECU, so the motor itself might be had for half that. No difference between internals of the 175kw and AU1 XR donks - just extractors and tune was the only difference, really.
