Thanks Baron.
The Heads got serviced at Jim Butler Performance and I actually asked purchased a new set of Head Bolts just in case their was an issue because we faced that problem with Dads 400 and the Edelbrock Heads . Thanks for the heads up glad I got them out of the way.
The carb is off at Cliff Ruggles for a restoration so it will come back better than factory I am sure.
I haven't purchased the Exhaust manifolds yet but they are definitely what I will be using. I think they are a great match for my build.
I believe the Ram Air IV cams sound dampens a little with the 455 Low Compression motors as opposed to the 400's that were running higher compression ratios so really not sure how it will turn out. The Hydraulic Roller setup should see some small gains and their is also a Custom Grind which Rocky mentioned to me which I am still thinking about but it can always be changed if I am not happy with it. I will still be using the 3.42 diff ratio and the PQ Turbo 400 so I am not planning on a race car just a nice performer on the street.
I believe the test car was running a non production emissions setup but it all had to be changed to get the tick from the Pontiac Brass.
