November of 2008 I purchased this complete 455 from (Buick Tim) the Engine is a true original all complete 1970 SF coded 455 out of a 67xxx mle 1970 Electra. From what I can see...its never been apart and the few things that are NOT... born with original would be the Belts, Upper Radiator Hose and clamps, Plug Wires, Water Pump. Someone removed the Alternator Pulley and Bolt. Dan

The car looks like an excellent starting point. It looks like your really paying attention to the fine details right from the get go. Also, nice to see a fellow board member from the Chicago suburbs. I'm only about a half hour from Elmhurst.
