Default GM Crate

Hey, I was looking into getting a GM crate Engine for my 79. It's gonna be a turn key crate 350. The only problem im having is that I have looked and looked for prices and have been unable to find any prices for the Engine that I was planning on getting...

Can anyone tell me Approx what an Engine such as this might cost from GM?

Wow... is that the Approx price for the engines straight from a preformance dealer or just from those guys?
Do you know about how much an engine would cost if it wasnt a turn key?

Thanks for all your help!
