YES, parts can be bought nearly anywhere. BUT, if you rebuild it wiht new parts and it never goes to a machinist to freshen the worn areas, it will have the same or worse problems after the rebuild.
SO, it needs to be disassembled, INSPECTED by a competant machinist, and then parts can be bought.

+1 If it needs machine work and it is not done then you are just wasting your money.
Northern auto parts has reasonably priced rebuild kits for the chevy 350.
