That's not such a bad price.
Rebuilt 455 s usually sell for $1200-2000 from rebuild shops depending if you have a core, and it's condition.

 

I've got good used 425s and 455s out of the Toronados for 1k each... complete assembly's.
I'm taking offers at the moment

 

Well, the weblink you provided has expired. I bought a 455 and TH 400 for $350 in the Kansas City, MO area. I disassembled it with Oldsguy over the weekend and it is in good shape. It has almost no ring ridge on it and it rotates freely. I think anything over $800 is too much for an engine if it hasn't been rebuilt. If it has a fresh rebuild then you have to consider if it has aftermarket parts and whether or not it has been broken in.

 

yeah , every time i hear someone claim a 'rebuilt' engine I am suspicious too...
$350 for the eng. and trans.? sweet deal for you! is that an om or oj code?

 

My storage fees are fair...

 

The engine has J heads on it. I am not sure what you are referring to...

 

Hey, they quitmaking them a long time ago, they can only go up in price!
