How sturdy is the 455? Can they be made to put out alot of power and still hold up? What kind of power and torque did they have in stock form? HAS ANYONE EVER TURBO'D ONE?:biggrin:

SignUp Now!Oh yeah they can make power with $$$ just like the 3.8. A stock 1970 455 SP block was rated at 390 hp with 510 ft/lbs of torque. I have a mild 71 Buick 455 motor in an 86 Regal w/ a 12.90 quarter mile ET. They will definitely fit into a G-body. As far as turbo........procharging is what I've seen guys do. There was one procharger 455 at BPG Nats in Columbus this year. I was thinking he ran a high 11 or low 12.

Just saw a 86 regal on ebay with a 455. Similar to the one in your sig. with a Th400. Is that a good combo. Is the trans ok for a daily driver? What kind of milage do you get with it?
put up the link...........don't worry I won't buy it. I'm broke!
seen an ad the other day for a 455 Buick engine for $350
