Yearone has a killer deal on a crate:

Do another search, and try google for more info. There was a corvette forum where one guy had a detailed review of the engine and it was almost enough to convince me to get it if it weren't cheaper to build my own...

If you want new.
GMPP is most likely the way to go.

The GMPP 290 HP 350 is a pretty good deal. It is a great truck engine.

I got a GM Performance Parts Crate 350 from JEGS. I think it was like 1500-1600 and i got the 250hp/350ft 350 with 600edelbrock carb, edelbrock performer airgap manifold, HEI, and a dress-up kit. All delivered to my door.

You can do the same deal with the 290hp/330ft 350 too.
