Looking for a 454 long block somewhere around Ohio. A complete engine is fine too, but not necessary. Just looking for something like a stock truck engine, nothing fancy. Even the lowly peanut port heads will do.

 

C&P Machine shop in Fort Wayne had, the last time I was in there a couple months ago, a complete rebuilt 454 that had been left for rebuild and never picked up. I believe that they had done all the machinework, and assembled the long block. Price was $2500. Call Corey at 260.484.7723 and ask him about it. Tell him Dave Birdwell told you to call him.
