Looking for a 4l short or long block, current motor has 2 stripped head bolts. Thanks in advance

I haven't had these engines apart, but is it not much easier and cheaper to replace the stripped fasteners?

You can helicoil Rover V8 blocks. If done correctly, it is much stronger than just aluminum threads.
