Bandit,
Not good with PMs... (computer "stupid"). I have plenty of 455s. The question from me to you is: Why? For the '79 body, there were no 455s. 400 blocks are physically stroger than 455s. If you're starting a new build, base it on the 400 block (cheaper, too!). We get about $400 for a 428 or 455 block, and $150-200 for a 400. There are still thousands of 400 blocks out there. The Eagle rotating "kit" converts a 400 into the equal of a 455, plus the added benefits of smaller bearings, lighter/tougher parts and the aforementioned stronger block.
Where are you located? Feel free to e-mail me. (
