    Putting together a 455 to drop into a 77 Lesabre. Have just about everything I need to put the engine together using all used / spare parts inc a 290-08 cam. One of the only things I dont have is a HEI. Per BSA rules it has to look stock and thats what it would have come with. The Olds 350 in the car now has it but pretty sure it will not work on the Buick engine. If any of you guys have one to donate I'll pay shipping cost and a finder fee. Thanks!

    Does T/A still have a hei for under a hundred? I bought one for my 53, they are all set up for performance. The only problem is they have a red cap, otherwise they would look stock.

    Correction, I was wrong about only having a red cap!

    I found 2. One is actually for a 350 but has everything to work with factory set up. The other one is gutted to be used with an MSD box. Only has a pickup
