Buick 455 won a Popular Hot Rodding Magazine shootout a few years ago. Made more power on the dyno than similarly modified popular big blocks including the 454 Chevy and 440 Chrysler.
i got the 455 and it starts right up thank god. No issues. I threw in some royal purple and some detergents to clean it out and it idles even better now and such a smooth idle tone also. Please let me know of any sites that I can visit that would have upgrade parts for this motor. Also, really big question, is there a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission that will bolt up or do I have to fabricate it? thanks.
please keep me posted on any new videos. I'm getting my hands on a olds 455 and wanna learn everything that I need to make this monster into godzilla (but with "some" street manners)lol
Im going to be swapping the 350 in my 71 skylark out for a 455 im working on, and i want to change the exhaust manifolds for some headers, but dont want to dish out too much money, know of any cheap headers for my setup?
Appreantly some people are too used to hearing engines on youtube with no load on them. I guess the dyno must be off since they seem to know better by watching a video online. this sounds like an engine under a load which is what Dynos measure!
300 HP??? how do you come to that conclusion from watching a video? It dyno'ed at 450 HP 500 lbs torque (and that was with an undersized carb and first time it was fired up)... and it runs like a dream, I'm in year two with about 5K miles on it. Can't keep the rear tires under it.
@kralltime that guy is an idiot, olds are the truth, I have a olds 455 bored to a 468 all forged internals with main straps....this engine is estimated to put out 525 horsepower and 550 ft lbs of torque with stock heads...brother I'm with you.....
@kralltime i know this probably boils your water but throw some big rims like 22s to 26ss it will offset your rear end a bit and give you the snatch off you want or some slix
@kralltime i have a built Buick 455 in a 1978 trans am and i can't keeps tires on it either. it'll smoke the tires all the way through 1st 2nd and 3rd gear.

Awesome engine. What are the specs on the cam/comp ratio/intake/carb/etc. Olds 455's make unbelievable torque, I'm building one right now.
