NOS GM 4 bolt 454 short block !
 

Hi sYc Friends, exciting find here today:

I'm offering a genuine NOS GM 4 bolt 454 short block in as-found condition, I would think you'd want to go through it before building it up; it's been sitting for a while.

It's a 14015445 casting, not sure how to decipher a date, but there's a "T096" stamp on the underside and a casting of 252 by the rear. No suffix code / date on the semi circular machined pad on the front over the timing cover; it's blank. Not a XAA or XCH

It's obviously new and never fired or had oil in it.

standard sized 3963550 LS6 pistons (11.0:1 closed chambered) and dimple 7/16 rods, cannot picture the dimples, but can feel them.

four bolt mains - covered in inspection markings and purple, green, and orange inspection paint daubs, never painted still bare, in factory coating.

has a cam of unknown configuration - no lifters - nylon cam sprocket teeth.

has a timing cover.

I can't see a casting number on the crank, but pictured the wide forged parting line.

disclosures: there seems to be some surface rust from what was likely condensation in one of the bores at the bottom - doesn't look terrible to me (pictured). There is also a slight scratch on the deck surface near a piston bore but it doesn't extend to the bore and barely catches your fingernail (pictured). Some other odd oxidation / rust maybe other places, but nothing fatal, IMHO.

Many photos below for a full picture, let me know if you want any others or have any questions.

It's clearly a later OTC 7.4L block.

a new, standard bore 4-bolt 454 with LS-6 pistons & dimple rods and a forged crank and standard - a great start for a project build.

I prefer not to ship this.

I will consider delivering in SoCal.

Cheers all, and be safe & well.
Anthony

last few pics. Thanks again sYc Friends!

Hi Gang, bump.

And I've found what I believe is the oil pan off this crate motor - it's a 6 qt pan stamped 14103141 and has a part tag XXZ which I'm guessing is the engine suffix code. Can't find a lot on that code, so I'm assuming it was intended as an OTC truck short block... but the pistons still have me curious... and the mains.

I'm still conflicted on keeping this and using it myself, but here it is if you're local to me...

Cheers all!
Anthony

Hi again Gang, anyone local to SoCal interested in this NOS 454 short block?

Cheers all, be well.

Bump for 2021!

Happy New Year all!

Tripped over this last night, so figured it was a sign to bump it here too.

Cheers all, have fun this weekend everyone!

Nice piece

Hi Gang, bumping this - I'll listen to local offers; want it gone now.

Thanks all,
Anthony

Hey again, I want this out of my life. (before I decide to buy a project car to put it in)

Come get it $2500 cash.

I will consider crating it for $100 and taking it to XPO LTL shipping if you make all the arrangements and pay the freight directly to them; I have a local broker I can put you in touch with for the quote.

I'll also consider SoCal delivery at $1 a mile.

Cheers friends,
Anthony
