Unfortunatly the high dollar items are gone. The original w-30 intake is actually no more than a standard intake that was cast in Aluminum. I have seen these in good shape go from anywhere from 500.00 to 1500.00 depending on the condition. The carbs are the same way. They were special to the engine. The block castings for most 455's is the same through the model years. The casting number is by the water pump. Being its a 455 it probably starts with a 3 and has an F or Fa at the end of the number. The cranks are nodular and of good quality. Cast cranks have a "c" shape in the flange. Steel cranks have what appears to be a reverse check mark. These cranks also get good prices. Steel cranks were common up to 68' models. I think even the w-30 motors had iron cranks in 70'. Price wise I couldn't tell you without knowing all the modifications. Lastly, does it have the w-30 exhaust manifolds on it. These get good prices as well. As far as power. I would guess 400 hp. If we knew the flow numbers on the heads, we could probably give you a better guess.
