Wasn't the Buick 455 different than the Olds 455?

Yes,

They do not share anything in common that I am aware of

You could probably swap distributors

He said "Rocket" though..... it could be an Olds.

Either way, sounds like fun.

I don't even think the dist is interchangeable.I think the Buick spins CW and Olds is CCW? I think...

No way!

I paid $300 for my Olds 455 and TH 400 and I got everything from the air cleaner housing to the oil pan. That Buick engine must be made of gold!

I agree, I think $3000 is a little steep. If you can get it fine, but I think you will still have it in a couple of years unless you sell the complete car or go down on the price of the engine/transmission.
