Craigslist Score!

So I was surfing craigslist for Olds stuff and I came across a 455 motor for cheap but it was 6hrs away! Luckily I had a friend in the area with a truck coming back up so made the deal. So for $100 I got

1-455 396021 serifed F block with caps. All bores look to be in good shape possibly a virgin block. Didn't feel a ridge but may have been cut for piston removal. Didn't see any obvious signs of damage anywhere else

8-pistons and rods look to be stock. Rods look good and all the pistons but #5 which looks melted/broken.

a set of untouched E heads complete

1- camshaft of unknown make or grind but all the lobes look in great shape. Has some number/letters in the casting will look tomorrow when daylight

a bunch of push rods and misc bolts

2- distributors which appear to be stock not sure if either were upgraded to HEI

1-waterpump with 6 blade cooling fan and clutch

2-3 groove pulleys one for pump and crank

2-sets of chrome valve cover 1 edelbrock and other erson I believe

1-455 cast intake

1- steering wheel maybe 60's cutlass

1-gauge bezel maybe 65 or 66?

Pictures will come tomorrow as its too dark here

Do you think I got my $$$ worth?
