After a lot of considering, I've decided direction on my 455 build. Was going to go turbo, but the only way to reliably make turbo power includes a 6k block; I've decided the entry price is just too high...
So, the question. If you were going to build a NA 455, STREET motor (meaning, no E85 or octane higher than 92) how would you build it? My initial thought is copy the 455 Stage 1 motor, but hopefully, I can do better.
I'm buying pistons this week, so weigh in....
thx
details - in a 1970 Skylark, hood clearance isn't a problem. 3.73 gears but I'll be changing that to either 3.42s or (more likely) 3.23 so that I'm not at 3k rpms on the highway.
