Planning and execution
Choosing and bolting parts together without a well thought out plan often leaves an engine owner disappointed with results.
I can not stress enough the need for a comprehensive plan before starting any engine build!
You need to consider the unique characteristics of the 455 Buick engine before making any build decisions.
A stock 455 Buick will provide plenty of power for your car. Are you considering the dual four barrels just for looks? A single four barrel carburetor with the proper manifold can be set up to easily outperform your chosen dual Carter setup.
I had a light T roadster in my past running a stock 401 Buick and wide asphalt racing tires. This car would easily light up the rear tires at highway speeds with but a gentle touch on the go pedal.
Keep us in the loop as your build progresses.
