You can get them in US for anywhere from $100 to $300.   But it's only the
beginning..The oiling is diff. on the 4.4, so you'll either need to drill the
block *very* accurately, or pipe the line externally, or rig up a
thru-pushrod oiling.   Hey Greg W., didn't we figure it out one time long
ago?
What to you remember, speak up..

PS. got my 4.4 crank back from the machine shop,  the bolt holes on the rear
flange are awefully close to the 3.25 OD - I'll prob. have to redrill.
Bummer!    Everything else looks lovely.
