I have a 455 out of a 72 Olds 98. It was running when I pulled it. Didn't smoke. Been sitting for 6 years. I do turn it over once in awhile to make sure it's free. $475. By Eau Claire Wis.

Sounds good. I knew it was a little out of your mileage range, but thought I would throw it out there. I also have a couple other 455s tore down if you or anyone else are interested.
