455

Hi, Came across this video on Youtube. Car sounds mean as hell. And it's not just this car, I've watched other videos with the same cam. Same sound, basically. Mean as hell. Is there alternatives for a 455? I think the guy has this cam: 440 WHIPLASH HYD FLT TAP CAM 107º LSA +5 :: HUG SMC3245BL...

Hi everyone, I own a 1973 Buick Centurion 455 and I wonder what are those plugs resp. holes inside the intake manifold just underneath the carburetor for? I've attached a photo from the internet of a 1971 manifold, cause in my intake manifold aren't those plugs. It seems like there were holes...

Hello! I’m sorry if this information is already in another thread, I couldn’t find it. As the title states, I have a 455 that I’m planning on swapping into my 67 GS that currently has an Olds 350 in it. Is the engine a direct bolt in? Is there somewhere I can find a full swap guide or...

Hi Teambuick - I'm new to the forum and Buicks. I just bought a beautiful 1964 Skylark about 4 weeks ago. When I bought it there was an extremely bad (literally shakes the car from side to side) vibration when you rev the engine, almost as if the engine or something rotating is out of balance...

Hello, I just purchased a 1966 Skylark and the person that I got it from knew nothing about the engine. He said that he had a friend that was working on it (not in a good way) and when I got it she was not running. The past owner has had it for about 20 years and he was working on the body...

Dear Team Buick members, I'm continuing to try to figure out how to stuff my recently acquired Buick 430 in my 1965 Buick Special wagon. The puzzlement for today is how to get the exhaust out. Option-1 is to use the cast iron exhaust manifolds that came with the engine. I have evidence that...
