How available are 356 engines?

My '47 Super Clipper is running well, but at some point in its life someone replaced the 356 with a 288. I'd like to have the original displacement motor, but I'm wondering how available they are. Also, are the block and head dimensions of a 288 smaller than a 356, or are the two blocks similar in size with only a different bore and stroke?
Thanks!
