I have been into Buick forever it seems. I have a 70 that I have a 462 Buick motor in and I got carried away,I guess... :mrgreen: My intentions were to friday night race the car,but seriously it got away from me. I now have almost 3/4 of the car in glass parts. I have doors,fenders,decklid,hood as well as bumpers and now it seems everything needs to be glass or aluminum that I put on it. Even the gauges are Ultra Lites..lol I agree about the SBC or BBC being alot cheaper and if the right deal came alone It would be bolted in. I just like the torque of the 455.This car will be getting caged soon and I have a manual reverse valve bodied trans I will have to figure out how to drive as my last 3 GS'S were all 4 speeds cars. I plan to have fun with it and will even train my wife to drive it.
