Look for anything Dodge 1 1/2 ton and larger made after 1946 that has a flat head in it. Somewhere near you is a basket case 1950s 1 1/2 ton for around $500 with a 251 or 265 in it.
Last time I looked around there were 6-7 25 inch blocks in junkyards near me. I have no idea if they were 251s or 228s, but a little legwork would have answered that question. They are out there. You just have to look.
