So I found a 440BB

Well you guys are making feel better because it seemed like such a waste of good engines!! If they were "free" I might go through all the trouble of hauling them home just to see if I could get any good parts out of them but I don't think they'll ever leave the spot where they are sitting.

Dukeboy...I appreciate the offer but the only reason I was interested was because it was close to home and the engine was complete with transmission.

I would have bought all three because 454s are extremely popular where I live!!
