72 600SWB needing parts/advice

A good friend of mine has a 72 600SWB,he bought it last year for restoration.We are finally getting ready to start on it and are needing some engine parts.The car is about 90-95%there but it is a complete basket case.We took the block and a couple of pistons to the machine shop to have the cylinders checked,rehoned,and the pistons test fitted.When we were looking at the pistons we found one with a broken skirt,really haven't inspected the rest of them yet.The machinist called us last week and really doesn't seem to interested in doing any of the work.He did say that it would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $24,000.00 to rebuild and assemble it.I told my friend that the guy was out of his mind.We plan on doing all the assembly ourselves.So now I am looking for someone/someplace to purchase the parts we are going to need.Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.TIA.
