I know it's on the "other" forum but I hadn't heard about this forum at the time I started my build and I didn't see the point in duplicate build threads.

A big thank you to Mark at LPI for all of his help on this.

Just sold my Procharger stuff and went twin turbo. 2-75mm turbo's, 2-45mm wastegates, 2-50mm BOV's and the turbo friendly solid roller shipped from Steve Morris's shop last Wednesday to my builders shop. We have spent the last 3 or 4 weeks getting everything spec'd correctly. These parts are the only pieces we didn't have to put the complete engine together.

Engine is 555 ci. Car is setup for an 8.50 cert, but already has the X bars on each side in the floor and in the roof. T-400 in a Reid case with a Gear Vendors OD. Looks like we will use a 2.33/1.48/1.00 Coan planetary with either a 3.60 or a 3.70 rear gear. TBD. Rear end is a Mark Williams 9" modular with moly axle tubes and a billet locker.

Art Morrison framed 70 GTO. Rack & pinion Corvette front suspension, 4 link/watts in the rear. Only remaining GM piece of the original car is the body, firewall back. There are pics of the car on this site already. Its appropriate this thread is in the street section because this is primarily a street car. Has A/C.

This is my unintended rebuild of my fairly stock 1971 455HO from my Trans Am. Lots of good internal pics for anyone wanting to see any 455HO internals. The engine had received one decent rebuild before my ownership where it was bored .030 over and the heavy forged Speed Pro pistons were installed with stock rods. Later, about six years ago during my ownership, the crank had split and been replaced with a new Eagle crank that had no prep done, it was simply thrown in the engine by an unskilled shop. They also replaced the rod bolts with ARP bolts I provided.

This build happened by me over the winter in my house because the distributor gear got ground up and sent trash through the bearings. The filter stopped it going through the galleys but it scored the walls and the crank journals.

In this build I took my time and went carefully. I had no machine shop services available so I had a crank done by Paul and sent to me (a used N Pontiac crank). The cylinder bores were in good shape with almost no ridge so I honed them myself.
