I have a friend looking for a running 455, what he is looking for is something a little better than stock. Wanting to put this in his 70 skylark and make it a good bracket car. He is open to what can be done to it, but will need to be as complete as can be. He is looking to get his skylark to run in the low 12's to high 11's. It is running that currently but with a small block chevy. He really wants to be buick powered again. Let me know what you have with a price. Preferably closer to the Ohio area is possible but will look at all options. Thanks
Hey Denny, whats his timetable, whats his budget,does it need to be streetable, including headers, carb,distributor?compression? gary
Gary Timetable isnt really a big deal, but he is looking for one that is running so they can just put it in and go. Never really told me what the budget was, im sure it is not very big since he is only wanting the car to run what it does now with the chevy motor in it. This is a race car only, no street driving in it. Basically if he had something like what we used to run in Renee's 70 that would be perfect, that was a stock 70 bottom end with some head work done to it, a good carb and headers. Hope that helps a little
I don't have one currently running but I have all the parts to do so, needs to be machined though. Be hard to get it in a car before end of season. gary
