    1969 455 olds Engine search......................in the 70's there was a truck called "the junkyard dog" , The truck had an earlier big block Olds in it that apparently went south. They were supposedly based in Fontana and got some sponsorship from a local Oldsmombile dealer, but the dealer would not pony up a complete engine. the owner bought a 455 olds and th400 from Royce Hunt at Garey high school and installed it in a 57? ford truck that they used as a match and bracket racer.
    that engine is from my 40 stude gasser and i would like to try and find it and the headers again......hey..you never know.

    can anyone help with this?
