Crankcase baffle

Looking for a crankcase baffle for a 1955 Oldsmobile 324 engine in the SoCal area if possible. Wasn't with the engine when I purchased it and doing the rebuild.

Part #555783 crankcase baffle if someone has one. That part and crank bolt with washer is only things that are missing off engine.

I guess #555783 is the number for the crankcase breather that is in the upper block that connects to the outer road draft tube. I guess some people refer to this as the "beer can". Trying to find this part locally if possible.

I'll be dismantling a 1955 324 engine soon. If you haven't found this yet I'm thinking your describing the can shaped piece that fits under the valley pan at the rear of the block, correct? Did you get the crank bolt and washer yet?

That is exactly what I am looking for. And no I have not found the crank bolt and washer. PM me when you get a chance.
