1969 or 1970 Olds 455

Looking for a 1969 or 1970 Olds 455 complete engine running or not. Running would be a plus but won't rule out something else. C heads would be a plus. Wanting to build my own rather than buy a crate. I'm located south of Louisville Kentucky.

If your wanting C heads you should include 68 in your search. All 68/69 455’s came with C heads. Also some of the 68 motors had forged cranks.

If you're going to build the engine, then any 1968-1972 engine would give the same end result. The 1973-1976 engines would be different only due to the J heads.
