OK I have decided to go from 455 Olds to BBC so now I have a engine for sale.

This engine has had some water sitting in it for some time and the block needs to be machined.

This is the thread I started when I first got the project.

The engine was complete when I pulled it out of the boat and I have everything that was on it. Everything is for sale so if you are interested make me a offer and if its reasonable I will take it. I need the cash to rebuild the 454 so the sooner this stuff is gone the better.

I will post some pictures of the cylinder walls when I get home today. The block is now stripped completely.
