455 is set in finally

[hotwheelsboy28]

The AMC blue looks pretty close to 455 Olds Big Block Blue. Where did you find it? If you don't mind sharing?

Looks good. Got any details? The 455 I stuck in my Cutlass was a stone stock 80,000 miler from a Toronado.

this one came from a 73 delta 88 had 90k on it, stock bottom end freshend up new oil pump and timming chain stock heads with new valves, springs,studs and guide plates and converted to fully adjustable valvetrain comp cams cam lifters 3/8 pushrods scorpion roller rockers performer intake pro comp distributer had the quadrajet rebuilt think it's 800cfm new balancer water and fuel pumps, clamps, belts and hoses edelbrock valve covers i made the valve cover bolts at work, ebay 3/4 in spacers to clear the rockers summit air cleaner flowtec headers ive got 3k invested in it. the paint i got from my buddies machine shop can't remember the name brand right now. i need to put another 300 or so in it to be roadworthy.

I don't know where the OP got his, but I bought mine from here:

I'm very critical about product quality and I'm pretty pleased with their paint.

this is the exact paint i used on my 455

My friend owns a machine shop where he done my machining and ordered the paint for me.

Finally took the old buick for a spin saturday, done a very long burnout the old 200 metric was slipping very bad from all the torque. Guess its time to have a 350 turbo built. Had to replace the heater core also hard to test drive in the dark and wipe off the windshield while going down the road lol.The only leaks were from the header pass side and collectors. She runs like a sowing machine and cranks right back up with no sweat at running temp. So far no problems at all from the pulley and bracket setup. Still need to button up the ac but in due time.Could'nt believe how much the front end is squatting now it still has the V6 coils in front guess thats on the top of the list now. Just glad to be cruisin in it again, thanks for all the comments guys I'm proud of our work also.All that hard work cleaning painting and assembly and I forget to clean and paint the radiator lol! Still gotta make the wiring job look better and lots more work to do elsewhere on the car but its comming together slowly.

Could also try por-15 engine enamel thats what i used on my engine ,hold up for a long time, engine looks great, do you have to shoe horn it to get it in .makes me wish i would have went for a 455 pontiac instead of settling on the sbc .
