I bought a bare 455, I managed to find the following on Ebay. Timing cover,crank pully bolt,oil slinger, fuel pump ecentric,distributor hold down,crank key,freeze plugs. Is there anything else that I am going to need when it is time to assemble this engine? This is my first ever Olds build so any info would greatly be apreciated. Thanks

 

My block was missing the lifter galley plugs. I think there is 3 maybe more, one of them feeds oil to the distributor.

 

One of the other ones sprays the chain and gears.

Oil filler tube? Oil filter adaptor? And you may not be able to use the slinger depending on what chain setup you use.

 

I guess the question is how bare is that block?There are some misc plugs & such,but maybe they are still on it.

 

It was all cleaned and machined and then sat for about 5 years because the guy lost interest. I now have to get it cleaned (hot tanked) and Ill have it all measured and inspected.

 

I have the plugs for the front, including the one with the squirt hole....it's NOS.....

 

I've got oil filter adapter(s) old points distributor they need a new home
