Thanks

Hitch up your wagon and head west. I have a complete, fresh, 455, in a Tahiti, running, for engine demonstrations IN THE WATER.... See my post in parts spam under, "fresh running 455"......... Carb to pan, or long block w/pan....."Head west, young man, head west"..... I really don't want to sell the boat as it is my test barge for the 455s, but everything is for sale when it comes right down to it.......What is wrong with your boat? Maybe work out some kind of trade???

PS I also have 2 bare blocks. One is fresh from boring, (I can't remember if it's +.030 or .060) w/cam bearings installed, and the other is a rebuildable core that MIGHT be standard now. Both were marine engines, not out of a car junk yard....I also have a couple of "N"cranks, one virgin, and one 20/20....... Plus 8 sets of heads, one set of big valve "C"s fresh from the shop w/ all new stuff, (valves, hard seats, hyd springs, guides, surfaced and ready to go).....So, head west and we'll fix you up with some Arizona sunshine and you can "pick your poison"........
