So here goes, i bought a pair of 455 buicks for my cutlass, both need a good rebuild, but one appears that i could get away with bearing and gaskets. I priced out the stuff tonight and its right close to 350 bucks. I also found a running 350 buick, which practically falls right into place with the 3.8 mounts. The question is do i throw 350 bucks at the 455 and hope thats all it need or do i spend 400 buy the 350, and rebuild the 455 from top to bottom? My 3.8 is better off as a boat anchor right now. Either way this car will end up with a 455. Im just not sure if i should go straight to a 455 or goto the 350 for now.
