Default WTB 1958 engine

Even though its a tough economy, it also means there is opportunity, so I took a chance and picked up a 1958 vette recently. It is in great shape cosmetically, but doesn't have the correct engine. Trying to fix that if I can.

Looking for a complete engine if possible. Would prefer 283/270, but am open, as long as it is an original 1958.

If anyone knows where I can find one, or parts to begin to build one, please PM me. Thanks!
