I have a 394 and Slim Jim Rotohydramatic that I will be trying to get rid of by Christmas. I am currently working on replacing them with a 403 / TH 400 combo. I am in Lawton, OK which is about 3 hours away from Dallas and 1.5 hours away from Oklahoma City, OK. The transmission is a POS and the engine is strong except for some valve noise / exhaus leak that I am trying to track down right now. They come out of a 64 98.

I see you are in Lockport. That's only 10 min away from me in Woodridge. All I have is a 350 that needs a rebuild and a running 307 at the moment. I'll let you know if something else comes up.

Hey Olds64

Lawton is a little far from me.

I need a runner. The 307 is a little new for my car. But if you see something let me know.

I know what you mean. There is a 403 just down the road from me and I am holding out for a 455 as well.

i have a 330 block if you wanted to switch the parts from your other 330 over. located just west of kankakee, IL

I also have 2 455's. They aren't complete. On is a block that i bought off of a machine shop. They did all the work on it, and the guy never came back to get it.

p.s. your ad wouldn't won't open (for me anyway).

One of the 455s is in the process of being sold.
