Check out your local auto salvage yard. You can get 403s from late 70s Delta 88s, 98s, and Toronados.

Who is "setting up" the #5 heads for your 403?

I get my stuff done by a local machine shop that's been in business over 30-years. They're extremely reputable. They're not cheap, but they build em' right. They built my '69 Olds 350 that's going in my '78 Cutlass. Some time ago, they built a 403 with 350 heads for a customer that cranked out about 500 FT LBS of torque. The customer stuck it in a front wheel drive Riviera! They're totally familiar with this type of build. I already have the heads (#5's) and guts of a factory 4-barrel '69 Olds 350, which I intend to use for the 403 build.

Chris (rocketscientist) has an unusual sense of humor...
You can also contact him over at realoldspower.com (octainia).
Or use the phone # he provided.
He knows part #'s better than anyone else I have met.
Honest guy, nice to deal with.
Jim

If you don't strike a deal with J, BME in Texas has advertised one on e-bay several times in the last month. I was a looking, until I got my freebee.

Then I had to buy a crankshaft for it.

We have a good engine that comes with a car, it is in a Toronado and it was running when we parked it some time ago. The car only has about 80k actual miles. We are asking $500 for the entire car.
