Rebuilding 455
Well, job creep went from replacing my cam and carburetor to pulling the 455 , disassembling and sending to machine shop. They will clean, deck, bore to 30 over,align hone , resize crank( 2 bolt) and balance, recondition rods, new cam bearings, new pistons, rings and bearings in about a month.
So here is my question. Since I want to keep the cost manageable and don't need to create a high horsepower/ high torque monster, should I pay more for forged rather than cast pistons? Also, since it is a 2 bolt main, should I keep the original mains or go with the 4 bolt main center caps? In addition, the torque converter in the car is a 2200 stall unit. Is that sufficient for this size engine? The rest of the engine will stay with: Edelbrock round port heads Edelbrock Performer or RPM intake( I have both) Newly rebuilt Cliff Quadrajet 041 cam Scorpion 1.5 rockers RAIV high flow factory type headers Thanks for any suggestions Last edited by West Coast GTO; 03-05-2022 at 04:56 PM.
