1970 145 Volvo station wagon engine blew, need help to locate engines 140-160

I'm in seattle, but actually live in Cali until Nov..The car blew the engine wall going to Spokane and is parked in Ellensburg..I bought it and just got it fully legal.. It took me from northern Cali to SO Cal and up to seattle twice.. I don't know what happened..It was running awesome and then it started to have some oil and tune problems and I kept checkin it.. It supposedly was a rebuilt with 60,000 on it.. But anyways.. I love to save it and get another engine, but my research is showing engines are hard to come by.. I believe its a B30 since its a 6 cyl.. B20 works to, it has a dual carb on it. I will go back in a few days to get engine block # and see about storage.. Its was taken care of well and and I just majorly cleaned it and people dig the original tan/yellow color.. I loved it.. best car I had.. better then my new cars I had..I have an aerostar I just fixed here. But if anyone can help me locate or give me leads..also are there any diesel engines that could possibly fit this model.. I'll keep my fingers crossed..if its lose I'll scrap it..but I'd rather see it go to work again since the rest of the vehicle is in good condition.. even the tranny..but I gues may have to check that out too due to engine blowing.. Where did it blow, bottom left right where the oil dipstick is, A nice gash inside out.. something broke and went wild... reply here or email me..
Anyone in Washington state that knows volvo's and love to work on this or know someone, please let me know
peace
Harold
