Summit Racing has the Clevites on their parts list for under $100.- for the mains.  They might have other parts available as well.

I will be dealing with one guy at one of the NAPA's.
He comes highly recommended from a buddy of mine who
has a shop. The particular shop that he works for
(NAPA in Blackwood, NJ) is supposed to be pretty good
as well. The other option was for the NAPA by my work.
Also supposed to be very good (they have a ton of
machines and a lot of projects going on) but they
don't assemble their work due to liability issues.
