72Cutlass · 10-20-2007, 11:18 PM

I have recently bought a 72 cutlass that has a 350 in it now, I like more power than it has and since it has 98k on it I am planning on storing it in garage and buying a 455 to rebuild. I use the car as my daily driver so I dont need a radical build on it but would like to have all the power I need...Is there a particular yr of block to look for? How do I tell what yr the block was made? And could you give me a ball park idea on what the average build costs for a 455?

thanks for the help in advance,
Dave
