I can get a 71 SR 455 for $100. Been sittin' indoors. Probably needs overhauled. I'll probably get it since it has all accesories including the 800 Q jet. So whats a 71 SR anyway? 8-1 motor? o No:
Wow Adam, your quick!!! I dunno what I'll do with it yet, but I'm having some ideas. Is this the same engine code thats in your Centurion? I'll let youns know if I get it this week.
woops...I overlooked that minor detailou: I saw the "71" and automatically assumed... Shows you what can happen when you "assume". My motor is coded TA
O yeah uzzled: That would have good compression eh? It's got a 71 carb anyway. I guess thats all subject to being changed at some point in its life. Also, the SR code is on the driver side of the block near where it meets the head between #5 and 7.
Since it is a '70 does that code still have the same compression as the '71? Yeah nice price!! Thanks
Oh, thanks, I thought I had seen somewhere that '70 455's(for buicks) possessed a higher comp. ratio but I wasn't for sure.
I thought the assembly manual said that the SF was 10:1. It doesn't matter to much to me. My SF has forged pistons now. Dan, If you don't want it, I'll take it!! Seriously, I will!
Well, I still gotta go get it, so Its not mine yet. Although I closed the deal by phone. I dunno if its even any good. I got an idea were this engine might wind up.........and its not gonna be a two door. :Brow:
