Smile Fresh 480" BBC with TH400 trans

I bought this engine from a drag strip owner a while ago to drop in my 67 Buick drag car project. Since then I've decided that I just have to keep the Buick "all Buick" so I have no use for this engine.
I can't build my Buick 455 until I sell this one though...

It has not been fired since it was built.
The engine is a .120 over 454 = about 480 big block Chevy cubes. It's NOT filled. This was to be a mid 9 second street sleeper.
GM Aluminum heads Intake runners flowed 330 after porting.
GM aluminum intake is port matched to the heads.
Pistons are 12.5:1....12:1 with heads and "Seal Power" rings
The crank is .010/.010
Crane 708 roller cam
Roller Rockers
GM Dimple Rods and GM HV oil pump
I also have a fresh TH400 trans that comes with it. (no converter)
Can be picked up in Tiffin Ohio 44883
Here's all the codes I could find on it:
Block:
Cast into the rear "shelf" behind the intake:
10069280 GM 3P CF C070
I believe the numbers make it a 1970 block?
Stamped into the front just above the timing cover : TH20XXZ0

Heads: Cast inside - 3946074
I believe these were used in the 69 L88 Vette, 69 ZL1 Camaro, 71 LS6 & ZR2

I can take as many more pictures as you want.

I'm asking $4,800 for everything (engine and trans)

I doubt you could duplicate this for any less than $9-$10K

Thanks
Rick
