There's a guy in Blythe, California that I used to work for named Kevin.  He owns a machine shop called KC Machine Shop.  In that area of the Arizona-California desert,  those 440's are not hard to come by.   I got one out of a junkyard down there for 200 bucks about 4 years ago.....complete!!  I know he has a plethera of 440 heads already ready to go, and he had a few 440 blocks just laying around.  He may be able to help you out!!!
