Does anyone recondmend any good heads for a 455?
I wanted to go with trick n flow but couldnt find anything
for olds...dont really want to go with edelbrock unless there's no choice

Edelbrocks are pretty much your only choice. There is Rocket racing heads but you have to use their intake. The E-brocks can use any BBO intake. I ran 11.15 with stock E-brock, thier now getting ported so I'm looking for the 10s. Guys making BIG power use Battens but they have not been made in yrs so you have to find a used set, along with the batten intake.

Your best bet is to contact someone like BTR Performance(Bill Travato). He can set you up with what you need so you don't waste time and $. Tell him your goals and he'll tell you what you need.

M&J performance has a CNC program that will add about 100hp to the edelbrock's.

Knowlton's Thunderheads does CNC'd Edelbrocks also.

Try checking out RealOldsPower.com and HighPerformanceOlds.com for more info before you start an engine build. You can learn a lot from other's experiences.

Rocket Racing also ports Edelbrocks.
