They range from 6,000 to 15,000. If money grew on trees that would be my plan but I’m not fortunate enough to have a money tree. My head is good, I have a new oil cooler, rockers, pushrods, cp3 valve springs etc basically my bottom is shot

Sounds like you need a new seat cushion!
Try these guys, https://balsleyautosales.com/, they buy a lot of Ram Cummings trucks. They might have something that could work for you, or maybe a lead on what you're looking for. Sure worth the call! Good hunting!

Thanks for the info. I sent them a email asking about a short block or long block 5.9 or 6.7

Salvage is ok too, as long as no issues are found, then labor could eat you alive unless wrenching yourself. I was suggesting the remanufactured short/long block since you would gain a warranty as well. Too each their own.
