Welcome Gary. 

There has been several threads with Olds parts listed around here, you just have to look around a little.

You might look at some of the running boats for sale with running Olds 455s.  Get a good running engine, resell the rest and maybe save a few bucks.

thanks to all of you who answered . Funny thing happened in the mean time , found a 454 w/ tunnel and dual carbs bassets and turn key on ebay for sale and I picked it up for $1425.00 so I guess I will be swapping the Olds now with a chevy now I'm on the hunt for some shinny mounts to install it. Again thanks to all and this is really a cool site and would like to go boating with you guys this coming summer....gary
