If you want an econo build, get a stock O.E.M. cast crank, not an aftermarket cast crank. Too many folks have had problems with aftermarket cast units.

Since the budget isn't an extreme concern, get forged pistons and rods.

Butler may be able and willing to fix you up with what you WANT. THey are tried and true Pontiac enthusiasts, Most folks don't advertise standard pistons, likely on thought of few of these old blocks possibly being able to pass an inspection (like yours hopefully will).

I know many don't mind using a cast piston, I just do NOT! I built a 283 in the early 80's it got forged pistons! I still have the engine under my work bench!!! It was running as good the day it was removed from my 67 Bel Air as the day it got fired up on the dyno...(stockish build, just as your 455 intends to be!)

Man that picture looks outstanding!!!
