    I am wondering if anyone here can be of any help?
    I was thinkiong of building a rowdy 455, but since this is a 455 and I hope I am lucky enough not to have to bore the cylinders. If by some miracle I don't have to bore, is the stock Stage-1 worth repeating? I like the idea of being able to squeeze serious HP out of this, but rebuilding a gem like this in stock form seems like the right thing to do. I know I am n ot putting it back into the car it belongs to, but it seems wrong to desecrate a somewhat rare find as this by changing the internal make-up of it, since I won't be racing it.
    :Do No:
    I am curious about a couple things. Can I re-use the cam if it isn't worn?
    I guess most of all, if there's any member out there that want to help me either write up the build for this 455 stock and maybe a mild build.
    I'm rambling, it's late and I am sure I've confused a few of you by now. I will stop for now and see if theres anyone that understands what I am after. If not, I'll try and re-write my wants and desires tomorrow
