WTB Olds 455 Shortblock

Really just need the block and crank. I'm located in Cleveland OH and will drive a bit for the right deal.

455

I have a few to choose from, I am in the metro Detroit area, have a real nice stock bore one, and a fresh bore .06" over and another that is bored and has some miles on it. PM me if interested.

Hey Sportscoupe,

I'd like to hear what you got. Send me a message, it won't let me message you.

Still looking. Forgot to mention it needs to be a F block (not FA) with a Zbar boss.

I've got some in Oregon. But due to shipping costs use me as a backup if you can't find one closer. John

So, are you also looking for a stick crankshaft? I recently acquired a 455 short block with correct boss and stick crank. Please let me know if interested. Thanks, Bob.

UncleRemus - I sent you a message. Glad I found a close by block.

RocketMan - I don't NEED a manual crank but if you have one all the better. I figured that might make it that much harder to find. Definitely need a F block though, standard bore prefered.

I did not find one locally. I am going to pull my existing crank to have it machined.
