455 BBB Complete

455 Buick complete. This is a NOS replacement engine I bought back when these were still available. Standard bore with OEM cast pistons.

Converted 70 Stage 1 heads with stainless valves, Felpro Blue head gaskets, ARP head bolts. Lunati camshaft, see photos of cam card for spec. 5/16” adjustable pushrods and stamped steel rockers.

Edelbrock B4B with rebuilt 800 cfm Qjet. HEI Dist with remote coil setup and Accel coil, timing cover in great condition with new oil pump and adjustable relief spring. New Stage 1 fuel pump.

Romac balancer with pulleys, alternator, non-ac bracket and starter. Deepened oil pan and pickup. Exhaust manifolds and dual snorkel air cleaner, with K&N filter.

This engine has less than 3500 miles since bought as a NOS replacement. It hasn’t run for awhile, but is a great runner with plenty of power. The 455 has been stored in my garage covered up.

$4500 - not including bellhousing. Local pickup in Diamond Springs, CA only no shipping

 

I ran this same cam years ago and loved it

 

Hello May be interested in this item. I will PM you.

 

I’d agree I love the cam as well, very powerful and still drive on the street with some manners.

Juan, I’ll PM you back shortly

Thanks, Wes

 

Did u run power brakes with it

 

No I didn’t, I’m guessing not enough vacuum for power brakes?

 

Interested as well. In line after COMPTA

 

COMPTA is out.

Just an FYI... I have run a similar cam to this many times, the new owner will have no problem running power brakes. Plenty of vacuum..
