455 for rebuild price?
I was searching Craigslist today at work and noticed there are at least 4 olds 455 engines around me for sale between 100 and 200 bucks, they are in need for rebuild, one has sat for 15 years, two of them have the transmission as well still attached. Is this a good price for one that needs an overhaul? Might get one just to have around and start rebuilding it....just want a few opinions.

a. General. This is a rapid, non-destructive method of locating defects at or near the surface of steel and its magnetic alloys by means of correct magnetization and the application of ferromagnetic particles.
b. Basic Principles. For all practical purposes, magnaflux inspection may be likened to the use of a magnifying glass. Instead of using a glass, however, a magnetic field and ferromagnetic powders are employed. The method of magnetic particle inspection is based upon two principles: one, that a magnetic field is produced in a piece of metal when an electric current is flowed through or around it; two, that minute poles are set up on the surface of the metal wherever this magnetic field is broken or distorted.
c. When ferromagnetic particles are brought into the vicinity of a magnetized part, they are strongly attracted by these poles and are held more firmly to them than to the rest of the surface of the part, thereby forming a visible indication

HOWEVER it is now being done at most shops with a UV chemical dye that penitrates cracks.

ahh i am a shop monkey and have done this for a long time (its important to magnaflux) it requiers a magnet or magnetic feild even! it requiers a special light that cost a butt load (high intensity black light) a soulution suspendid in water a 240 volt coill wrap around what your magging,, the uv chemical is for testing aluminum and is quite messy
