The engine is in!
My 455 swap is complete(actually I finished it Monday but wanted to make sure all was well first). I went mild with the rebuild, only 9:1 compression and a mild cam, but when you give it a little gas she wants to send the rearend sideways...I can't wait until it's broken in so I can bring her to the track before she's sold :D

Oops, I probably should have included that info :lol: It's in the '72 Buick GSX clone, the '67 Buick is getting a nasty 10.5:1 462 Buick engine with a cam that won't idle under 1200 RPM...that should be even more fun!
