Seeking 70's era Olds 455 motor

Have a 75 jet boat and need a 455 motor, I already have "k" heads and all the marine parts just need motor since my block cracked from fatigue.

Are you just looking for an empty block, a short block (no heads, no intake), or a complete engine? Your post is a little ambiguous. Thanks, Bob.

Not to hijack, but if someone on the OTHER coast has an Olds 455, I might be interested.

They're out there, I have found several from cars that were entire engine running that smokes for $250 to running strong when pulled just short block for $350 to complete rebuilt marine that I haven't heard a price back from the guy yet. Something you might try is joining classic car groups on FB that's were I found the 2 that were out of cars
