And are any better than others ?

My engine rebuilder says the first 455 I gave him is stuffed, but before I let him scrap it I thought I had better ask
Gary T
Oldsmobile club of Australia.

Did he say how? Is is not worth repair or not repairable at all? There should be some guys on here that can help you ID an engine if you provide some data for them to go with.

If the motor is stock to the car, I don't think it's a 455. I have no info on a 455 before 1968.

But I could tell you what block you have, if you believe it's a 1967. The only info I have on big blocks in 67 are as follows

1966-67 [390925 block]

1966-67 [389244 block]

1967 [390925 block w/.375 drill spot]

1967 [389244 block w/.203 drill spot]

1967 [389244 block w/.375 drill spot]

Assuming, you are talking about blocks/cranks:

Unless you are planning a "full on" racing engine, one is as good as the next.
