need a Pontiac 455 short block
 

Looking to upgrade the engine compartment in my Gramma's 75 Firebird from the 350 in it now. Looking for a rebuildable 455. Can be pretty much any decent 455 from the mid-70 smog years. Dont need heads since I will be using what's on the recently rebuilt 350 engine.

Thanks, Steve

Saw a couple on Craig's list :) but not too cheap.

Feel free to send me the links. The one I was interested in was listed on CL in several areas (Delaware, Philly, South Jersey, etc) but was in Dover, Delaware. He sold it last night before I could get down there this weekend. He also had it listed on the PY site and one of the members bought it.

I'm still looking.

Thanks but that one is out in Michigan. Im looking for something more local to check out in person.

I have a rebuilt 71 HO motor on the stand with 191 round port heads but that's overkill anyway. I'll check with friends of mine to see if anyone has just a block for sale.

The machinist just called and said I need a crank too. The leftover one I had from the 455HO is too tapered and it is .030 cut already on the rod journals.

If you're interested, Steve, I can check out that Michigan 455 for you. Let me know. Tony

I believe my search may have ended pending my machine shop giving the all-is-well verdict:

I will keep you in mind if I need to continue the search. Thanks
