Hello from the SW corner of Hell. I've owned my 85' Cutlass since I graduated in 89' and after blowing up the stock 307 a few years later I replaced it with a stockish 455. The car sat for way too long after spinning a rod bearing and came to life again in 07' as a fully built badass 455. Sadly there were complications shortly after breaking in the cam which I thought were easily fixed until the motor came out in Sept. Found a standard crank, better bearings, and now the proper info on clearances for those bearings. Hoping to have this beast back on the road by first of the year.

Welcome to the forum, I wish I knew all you guys when I lived in Brandon FL. I could have hid in your basements so I wouldn't have been deported...:rofl:
