My understanding is the rotors were not available for some time, but they are again - Rock Auto shows them from both AC Delco and Raybestos, for under $40/each. Having said that, the spindles and calipers are worth having.

Lots of big car parts you could sell.
Does the engine turn?

Are you selling or keeping the engine I might be interested if it’s for sale?

Hmmm the 64 heads came on firebirds and A bodies. The standard 70 455 head for a big car was a 15 head. Only about 10 horses less, factory rating...
I hope the engine is good! If you sell the engine, I'll give you $5.00 more than grand Am's bid and you can keep the heads!

Good score Bill! Have had quite a few XF's out of 70 GP's, two right now, a few '70 YA/YC's. Have only ran across one XF in a 70 Bonne, all other '70 Bonnes I've pulled orig engines from had the YH 15 head engine. 64 casting heads were just used on '70 model A, B, G model 455's. the first set I ever had was early 80's. went through them, new valve springs, 7/16 BBC studs. 2nd pair I sold bare to Ron J, that was many moons ago. Stock valves are slightly shorter than '68-70 big valve 400 heads. Ended up installing that 1st pair of 64's on a re-ringed '70 T/A YZ engine & put it in my '80 T/A for a while.

Good score ! I parted one of these (70 Bonneville 455 XF/64 Convertible) about 10 years ago, mine had the 3.23 posi diff, the frame and floors were rusted out from sitting in the grass.

The spindles are the same for disc and drum for 1967-1970. The caliper brackets are the good things to have.

"My understanding is the rotors were not available for some time, but they are again - Rock Auto shows them from both AC Delco and Raybestos, for under $40/each. Having said that, the spindles and calipers are worth having. "
Anyone got a part number for the disk rotor? |

The big car ‘67-70 rotors are not available. What is available per everyone’s computer is the 5 on 4.75 rotors from A-bodies. The big car rotors are still unavailable.
