454 mag GenV Rebuild-where to buy?

[CoralCoaster]

My 1994 Merc 454 blew up. Oil pressure failure, then it tighten up and wouldn't even have enough rpm to pull up on step. Pulled the engine out, a few filing on the oil drain but no big parts. I'm replacing the engine but need it done asap so looking where to buy a long block 454 rebuild? Found a couple places, one in Kentucky, but I am currently located in northern Minnesota and will be picking up the motor myself, so shorter the drive the better! Can anyone help with other options closer to the MN,WS, MI, IL regions? Thank you!

I assume you are looking for cheap. Otherwise I find it hard to believe that there aren't dozens of local sources for a remanned long block in your area.

I ended up getting a new rebuild out of Texas, shipping took 2 days. It's supposed to be here this afternoon.
