That Buick 455 is a great motor but you will be harder pressed for parts.Probably better off getting a Pontiac 455 for parts and to bolt in unless the price of it is good to pass on.

I like the Buick V-8's too. Nice engines. I must have installed hundreds of them back in the 80's. It's a bolt-in replacement for that piece of doo-doo 231 v-6 that was puking in just about everybodies car back then. That 231 was a money maker!
