Welcome to the forum ! 69 455 nice engine, HP/torque and extra large oil pan to boot. I had one in much large 73 cutlass and it moved that extremely well. Is it stock engine or ?
When l joined it took a couple days to learn how to upload pics so don't sweat it you'll get it. Some older guys weren't raised on a computer ! Lol
It's basically stock. 30 over, C heads redone, roller everything, Dick Miller polished exhaust manafolds, balanced and professionally rebuilt. New everything cost about 13k for the motor work with parts. It's has 432 hp and 503 ftlbs.

I am struggling with this forum. I meant to give a thumbs up not down. Sorry. I am frustrated trying to learn all this.
