Bought an 8N to rebuild. Took head off and found a cracked block. Anyone have a block for sale anywhere in or near Mississippi?

One of the biggest reasons I have that get me drawn into this site is that there is no BS when it comes to advice. Its take it or leave it attitude. No fluff, no time to repeat he same thing 5 time's if you don't understand state it. If you disagree state it and move on. All advice comes from being "tried and trued and its FREE!".
If you want a buttered up response go join a food.com discussion board.
You need to understand where most of the folks on this site offering advice come from. They don't tinker with these machines only on a Saturday afternoon such as admittingly I do cutting grass, most all of the livelihoods of the folks on this site were made and still are being made surrounding these machines. So I can understand that they do take things to heart when it comes to their responses. This advice is better than any damn manual can ever supply.
(quoted from post at 23:54:41 12/05/14) I appreciate all the replies on locating this block. Some were helpful. When I bought this tractor (48 8N) there was oil in the water and water in the oil. I expected the block was bad but the rubber, sheet metal, etc. was very good and for $600 didn't think I could go wrong. I have rebuilt, repair and sold 34 of these wonderful old tractors. I do all my own work. This is a hobby I love. I do not charge any labor only out of pocket expenses. Isn't it a little comforting to know there are 34 of these old machines in use that had been exposed to rust and/or the scrapyard. I don't know about you but this 77 year old fat man love my hobby. I have about 10,000 miles on by shop chair. Play nice fellows.
