The cylinder heads are original round port heads. The heads are stamped CO21 which indicates they were manufactured on March 2, 1971. They are

If you are looking to complete your original Firebird, GTO, LeMans and need an
original 455 H.O. motor, this is for you. If you are building one of these projects, you already know how difficult OEM parts are to find, let alone a complete, running motor.

The motor is currently in a 1971 Trans Am. You can come see the motor run and even ride in the car. You can also see a video of the motor running at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waWsed4f0Ic

I will have the motor removed from the car to be available to either ship or pick up. If you require shipping, you must make arrangements for that.

 

what are you asking? if I bought it I would want it with the dist (or a dist) so I could just swap it in my 70 goat.

 

I'm sure I could find a distributor for you. Looking for $8000.
