I haven't, but I guess I'd pull the rotors from the kit and bolt them to a tire with the caliper on to see what the clearances are.

2 bolt to 4 bolt 455 main caps...billet?

Is there any realistic advantage to using the billet 4 bolt main caps for a 455? I'm assuming I can get away with just a standard cast set of caps.

Anyone want to sell a set?

P.S.

Why does...

455 Question - 4 bolt threads?

I was looking at the mains in my 455 and noticed there were a second set of threads outside the main cap dowel. What's the deal with this? Does this mean I can put 4 bolt caps in? Or do they...

Does anyone know the biggest front and rear tire/wheel set up can be run on a '69 bird. I'm planning on keeping the stock ride height on the suspension rebuild. Maybe sometime in the future I'll...

When you say stock, do you mean rebuilt or not rebuilt? What would you do to beef it up to handle nitrous?

350 Rebuild, Where would you put $1000

OK, since the 455 is a little harder to find than I had hoped, well at least a rebuildable core for less that $1000 (here in Vegas) I need to get rolling on getting the car back together. It's been...

Is that so wrong? I'm trying not to completely dessimate the bank on the engine build right now. Something with decent power and driveability for now.

hp variances

I don't know if anyone has actually researched this or not, but if you were to build a 350, 389, 400, and 455 the exact same way, how much difference in hp would you see between the 350 and the 400...

All things being equal, is there any reason to build a '59 389 over a 400 or 455? It will ultimately go into a '69 bird. Trying to find a good motor to build, but reasonable 400's and 455's are...
