Going to convert the front brakes to disk got all the parts and will be replacing some old worn out suspension parts while I am at. Also going to need to change my exhaust system to headers and flow masters Salami is great at a deli but don't care for them on my car. Need to replace entire floor pan and part of the trunk salt damage from upstate NY. Will have more to come as you know always something.

How's the motor running?

The 455 Olds is a good motor but it has a small issue with bearing lubrication. It's easy to fix but it requires an entire tear-down, crank removal, bearing removal, etc. Make sure you request that if you have the motor rebuilt. If it's a daily driver, perhaps that's not a priority. If you start modding that motor though, just keep that in mind. The 455 that's in my LeMans had a spun bearing before it was B&B'd...

The issue is with incompetent rebuilders, not with the engine.
