You're going to be hard pressed to find a complete motor, and it will be quite expensive. If you're after a 4-bolt main block, you can add the 1970 XF (Grand Prix) 455 to the mix. It doesn't have round port heads, but those can be found separately. A complete SD motor is going to be north of $12K or more, and a 71-72 will set you back $6K or more, depending on how much is there. What is your budget?

I do have a 72 YB 455 HO short block for sale ( 60 over in the car ).....I also have several 455 4 bolts for sale as well...these blocks are cleaned and magged and ready for a build..
.As poncho-mike was saying...these are not cheap...if your restoring a car and need a specific block - that's good if you doing a race car or non-matching numbers car - a Butler strocker kit might be the way to go |

Ok thanks. I’m thinking It may be best that I look at a 428 setup for my ‘69 anyway.

You can turn a 428 into a 455 by grinding a little bit of the bottom of the bores away (for clearance for the rods) and using a 455 crank. A 428 standard bore block can be bored .030" to make it a 455 standard bore if you use the 455 crank. That is the cheapest way to get a 455 4-bolt main bottom end.
Round port heads and the matching intakes are very expensive. The strongest street motor I ever ran was a .030" over 455 4-bolt block (this makes a .060" over 428) with a 428 crank (for roughly 440 cubic inches) with a set of 1970 Ram IV heads, Hooker headers, and a MSD system in a 1970 Trans Am. I used the factory Ram IV intake but deleted the crossover. |

Where is Richardson? What part of the world?
Wouldn't want to have something shipped cross country if you could pick it up local. Clay |
