AP2 shortblock wanted (possibly long)

AP2 shortblock wanted (possibly long)
Whats up guys? I've got some leakdown issues and it appears that my cylinder head will need to be redone as well as a minor leakdown issue past cylinder number 3's rings.
Where is the best place to get a new OEM shortblock?
Does anyone have an AP2 short or long block available for a decent price? The lower the miles, the better. I'm not in too much of a rush, just exploring my options for now.
Thanks

I'm not in a rush to repair since it is my daily. So unless it's going to be comparable in price and I can get my hands on a good sleeve worthy block then I'm not sure that the way to go for me at the moment. I was hoping to hold off until I graduate in July so I could potentially do the k swap as it's something I've been exploring lately but do not want to pay anyone to do it nor buy an off the shelf over priced kit.

It's more than just my cylinder head, the rings on the 3rd cylinder have some leakdown as well. If it was just the cylinder head I wouldn't be worried. Just don't want to do anything more than once.
As for the K, I've put a fair amount of thought into it. They are readily available and heavily supported by the aftermarket, not to mention the midrange power. I've devised how I am going to machine all of the mounts as well as the adapter plate. Also think I've come up with a way to avoid the expensive custom flywheel. Just have to get a chance to take some measurements off of a K engine to solidify all this.
The K would be my preferred route and I intended to do it after I graduated anyway but I will likely end up doing the cylinder head for now to hold me over until I have the time and the funds for the K.
Eitherway way I'LL get in touch with the guys at BAWSS when I get a chance.

I have a K24 motor with my TSX. It s a great engine but stock to stock I much prefer the F22. I get to drive both and both have very different driving characteristics. The F22 feels much stronger and pulls faster.
Now with some mods or bolt-ons the K24 has much more room to grow.

Oh, I didn't intend to leave the K stock if I end up doing that. The main reason would be for more power, especially in the mid range so I would intend to build it for a reasonable street car.
