Sorry I don't have a direct answer for you, but sometimes it is easier to just buy a junker or project car to get your drivetrain. Try EBay.
Also you might consider a 425/TH400 if you come across one. The 425 will rev due to its square configuation. This engine never got its fair due as it was never in a 442/Hurst. It did set records at Pikes Peak in a Toronado. And there was that 442MUCH twin 425 front and rear drive that virtually smoked the entire quarter mile. I could be wrong, but I think an equally prepared 425 will outrun a 455 due to the better rev potential.

Oh...just talked a friend, he knows someone whom is selling a 455 and the trans as well for $1000. Apparently its slightly modified, manifold, headers etc.
Let me know ifyou want it and I will pass along some numbers. I belive it's in Surrey, maybe Cloverdale.
