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.

You would have to be an absolute dicktard to put a chebby shitbox motor into a Pontiac

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.

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....

[Bookem]

Blah, my engine stand is only rated for 700 punds.............lol.
