I have an opportunity to buy a 454 Ls5. The guy told me it was rebuilt before he got it. He was running it in his pickup and he claims it ran well. It has all the accesories and all I would need is a distributor. ( motor mounts,radiator,oil pan) I plan to put it in my 66 chevelle. Is $1000 for an LS5 a good deal for an engine that supposedly has 36,000 miles on it

Mortec shows this engine number 14015445, a 1978 to 1990 engine year. could be 4 bolt but most likely 2 bolt..If it has the 781 head on it, as you show, I say you did OK
