    Anyone got a 455 laying around?

    Just want something decently running, the more complete the better, especially front dress and brackets. I know it is a long shot, but what the heck.

Plus they never wear out.

    I disagree.

      Heads are the same as a 425 configuration correct? Where is it at?

          I am unaware of the differences, but if it does, I would prefer a olds. If it is comlete and running, will have the same motor mount locations and bolts up to a TH400, I dont care what brand it originates out of.

                    We can take the one we got and rebuild it too, so thanks but nothx. I was just hoping for a running drop in something or other to replace the one we have that has a cracked head, had overheated, but otherwise seems fine. If we have to rebuild one, the one that is in there will get the nod.

                        I can't believe you left that fucker outside the whole time I guarantee you could have fired it up and ran it.
