Ill be getting a buick as soon as the snow melts would that 455 work for you or are they different?

its a 76 Buick 225 Limted, but im keeping the body for a demolition derby car,

also getting a 72 olds delta 88 but im not sure if it has the 455 or not. like i said ill be getting them in a month or so when the snow starts to melt.

evryone tells me the buick is a completely different motor,i dont know what the difference is way before my era so i will trust the oldtimers on that one!,this engine is going in a minty 70 cutlass 442 ragtop so i want it as right as possible,let me know when you get that olds,if its a 455 it just may have to do.

Keep an eye out for the Custom Cruiser station wagons as well. My folks had a 1975 with the 455. Man that thing was a tank. We sold the car with almost 400,000 kms to a guy that was going to pull the motor and put it in a truck.

if you do find a good motor in an old car let me know i would be willing to buy the car without the motor and such to run in a demo derby, its getting hard to find these big ol tanks.

I know a guy with a fairly mint 69 442 with a 455 in it, car runs like a raped ape. Only downfall is since the car is fairly mint he wants around the 8-9k mark.
