I have this 455 engine and trans combo out of a 1971 Ninety-eight. The motor would not turn over with a fresh battery. Don't know when it was run last. I am asking $500 or best offer. I am located in Pennsylvania between Harrisburg and York.

 

what would you want for the 455 only?

 

I usually belive in the dollar per cubic inch rule, however in this situation I would sell the motor for $400.

 

steve, you stated that a fresh batt would not turn it over, your thoughts on this as am fiquaring a totel rebuild anyway, is the motor compleat brkts and all or better still whats missing? jim

 

It is complete except for a/c stuff and bracket. I do have a few pics available.

 

what do you think is wrong with mtr? and the bracket, does it mount anything with it as am not running a/c

 

Here is a picture of the engine.

 

I just think the motor is tight from not being run for many years. I would suspect some lubrication would free it up. I believe the missing bracket only held the a/c compressor.

 

OK. may be we should talk my email is jheim1@gmail. com and I'll give my phone number there and I'd like to talk it over with you. mtr looks like what am looking for.

 

If you still have the motor and tranny I am interested. What tranny is attached to the motor? Email is jwilson@ismgj.net

 

I am sorry to say that the engine and trans are sold. I would like to thank everyone for their interest and help in selling this combo. I will be checking in on this board from time to time and may even buy a '78 Cutlass from someone.
