Van,
If you can't find a good shop on the island, I know there are quite a few places in the Seattle area that can help. I would suggest getting in touch with the local (Seattle) MCA chapter and ask some of the members if they might have an old engine or trans laying around.
I just went through my 68's 289 and had a lot of fun with it. The hard part was trying to figure out what options to put on it .
Have Fun!
