Doesn't have to be a Vette engine. Prefer early/mid seventies from a big car or truck. Also prefer it to have the original crank, flywheel and harmonic balancer. If the engine is still in the car or truck, I will be willing to buy the entire vehicle if the price is right.

How soon do you need it?
I currently have a 454 in my 69 that I am going to remove this winter to make way for a more correct fresh 427.
I will be selling the 454 short block then. It will have all the parts you mentioned (less heads, intake and carb.)
The 454 is casting #3999289 from a 72 chevelle or Monte-Carlo.
Can you wait that long??

Thanks, Tony. I saw that engine for sale over on the Chevelle site. I'm over there with the same user name. It's tempting, but a little over my budget.

Dwayne, I can wait that long. Hopefully you are talking early/mid winter. I will email you. I get up that way every now and then.

Rick, I let you know via email.

I can't believe there is not a decent 454 within 100 miles. Oh well. :(
