Additional information from the current owner of the 65 Riviera:

Owner has all the receipts from the engine work totaling more than $5000

The original engine was frozen and so the owner sourced another good block from a dealer in Fort Worth and that cost around $500. A machine shop in Fort Worth known for being an excellent engine rebuilder was hired. He is known as the go-to re-builder of engines in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The engine parts cost around $1500 and were purchased as a kit. Total was about $2600

The engine was then transported to another mechanic where it was installed and the engine was tuned. Not included in rebuild were the extra parts related to the carburetor rebuild the replacement of the alternator new battery spark plugs distributor cap wires etc.

Flywheel is perfect as is the harmonic balancer. $450 spent just on the driveshaft alone.

Balancing and new universals. Rebuild included new pistons rings valve springs and The crankshaft bearings were replaced as well. Valves were polished and the heads were polished as well with new valve stems
