455 Block .030 over in Northern IL
My machinist has a late 455 block, came with Ga heads, sitting in his shop. He told me someone else could use it more than he could...is this true? It's .030 over as it sits, needs at least a hone. Any interest? Sorry to be so vague, but usually someone either wants one or they don't...

Alright, more info block numbers behind the oil filler
396021Fa (the A is uppercase but little) also on the inside is L13. He doesn't know who bored it .030 but it will need .040 before it can be used. He uses torque plates.

Does he still have the Ga heads it came in with?

I wish this would have come along a few months ago. I paid a little more than that for a core motor.

.040 over pistons for the 455 are not as common as I thought they might be and I'm all ready committed with what I have.

Thanks,

Just putting these on here for anyone interested in the cost of pistons for this thing. My machinist can get them at a cheaper price than summit. 4.195 bore cast pistons. I'm not finding much more than just cast.

I have Speed Pro Forged 40 over pistons in my 455. It was built in 05 and I remember getting the pistons from Jegs.
