Not mine but saw it on CL today. Budnicks what are your thoughts good deal or junk? Not for me just saw it and thought I'd pass along if anyone's interested and it's not a waste of time here's what's posted

If you have the means to check the machine work yourself and want to put something together on the cheap I'd say go for it. If you end up having to get a $700 set of pistons that kind of kills the deal.

I don't know if the different branded 455 engines had different dimensions, but I bought a boat once with a blown up 455 and the rods had huge (over 3 inch) rod bearings. No way they could ever work on a mopar journal.

All that's left in the add is a cast crank that has been turned. The price seems fair if that's what you need, but unless the counterweights have been turned down (reduced diameter), it won't fit in a low deck block.

There appears to be nothing "old school" or stroker whatsoever.
