Ya, it wouldnt be so bad if I weren't still paying for it....let alone the fact that it only had about 7,000 miles on the engine, but it's my project car and I have all the time in the world to make it the way I want it.

Just wondering if that's 7,000 on a rebuild or original miles? I'd lean towards a lighter 350 warmed over would be just fine, or 383 if you think you will miss the torque of the 455.

pfft, no need to go forced induction on a 455. Just build it all motor and spray that bitch

[weshole]

Dare to be different. Run a 421SD or a Pont. 428.

[81BNDT]

Hahahaha, yes it is the ONLY option. Going back to a Pontiac 455. Preferabally a 455 SD this time. YEAH :icon_thumleft: I'm not sure what I'll do just yet, but keep your suggestions comming. OH and here is what it looks like.

No no no, it's all about a tub of butter and a tire iron, oh yeah!

Hell yeah it would. That would be sick as hell.

[MisterCMK]

Good luck with a carbed turbo setup...

[DrifterExtreme]

been done before and is kinda easy with the right aftermarket carb... just takes a lil drilling and some trial and error to find the right jet's that will work well in and out of boost...

[Afsil80]

My inner redneck is screaming that anything other than a 455 is blasphemy.

I never specified chevy or BPO , but chevy would be cheaper and parts more available to get him on the road again sooner rather than later. You are right though with a car like that, the swap would bring tears to some. :icon_rr:

[81BNDT]

It will most likely be a Pontiac engine, but in reality, its the same company, just different divisions. Just depends on the numbers I want to run. Atleast I'm not putting a Fix Or Repair Daily engine in it! I'm just screwing with Ruthless351 :icon_thumright:

[Bookem]

I could build a 307 for ya and it could have more power than a stock 455, and weigh quite a bit less.:D I could also tell you the secret to stroking them but then I'd have to :machinegun: you. Or just charge you a whole bunch.:icon_king:

[81BNDT]

....OOOOOOOOR, you could do it to a 455....
