I myself have an olds 455 with fairly low mileage for my '48. Was in a wrecked '76 Olds 98. From there it was transplanted into a friends '81 diesel half-ton and used as a tow vehicle for 6 years. The truck was used to pull a 18' car trailer with a Mid-Am car. Then he got an RV tow rig and now the engine and trans are sitting under the bench awaiting me to drop into the truck.

This will be the 4th Olds engine I will be owning. All have been outstanding. The bearing journals are huge, hence the reason these run at lower power. Here is a link to some advice on Olds engines : http://www.442.com/tech/enginearticle.html
