Ok i completly understand the idea of keeping it olds in an olds i even agree. But i can get this buick 430 that is a fresh rebuild putting out 400hp for around 2000. Now my question is what do you think it would cost to rebuild my 74 455 with j heads on it up to about 400-425 hp. I know that even though the buick engine is 2000 i will have A LOT more in it then that due to starter, dist, flywheel, and headers so i much rather keep my 455. I have a friend that will help me rebuild it but he is not an oldsmobile guy so i have been doing a lot of reading on here to learn about the 455's. I have learned a lot but am not sure on the prices of the parts or what an average machine shop would charge to either work my j heads to larger valves or if i bought a set of c heads and had those redone as well as what they would charge to go over the short block and possible bore .30 over.
