Nope. I think someone else touched on this as well. When you start looking at what you have for your 350 setup, depending what kind of torque and HP is generates, you will want to make sure that the 455 is going to blow the lower rated parts off the car... figuratively speaking. Factory that 350 was something around 325 HP and 375 FP/t... if the 455 is going to do what a 455 does (generate massive amounts of torque) you may find some clutch slippage. My Firebird is an auto, my Chebby is a stick (327), and that is built with heavy duty drive components. Firebird TH400 built to withstand 1,000 HP.

There are a bunch of guys here who can point you in the right direction for best bang for your buck.
