    ED813D38-54F6-4E85-9EB3-9FE9FD653F89.jpeg I have the 350 bracket, wondering if I can modify for the 455? Thanks

    I think the 350 is straight the way you have it laying in the picture and
    the 455 would have a forward bend . Other then that , think they are the same .

    455 one is straight with an 1 stamped in the back. 455 block is longer. 350 is a shorter block and is bent and has an O stamped in the back.

    Thanks gents. If anyone has a pic of it on their 455 they can share, possibly measure from top side of T stat housing to top of bracket, I’m sure I can create something acceptable. Thanks

    The first one, with a "1" stamp is a GS 400 GS 455/ Stage 1 bracket

    The second one, with a "0" stamp, is a GS 350 bracket.....

    Gd2227,
    Would you say the only difference is the 455 bracket is not as tall?

    Shape and height. I’ve seen 350 brackets bent to fit the 400/455.
    If it were me, I would sell the 350 bracket and buy an exact 400/455 BBB reproduction bracket that Todd or mr buick - Mike Garrison makes..

    I'm willing to swap 455 Brackets for 350 Brackets so anyone reading this . . . . IF you have a 350 Bracket and want a 455 Bracket I will swap with you!
