It’s been a project all in it’s own building this in the course of a few months but it’s ready to go in now.

You can just put a piece of cloth over the valve stem and use a drill unless you're bored or take it to a machine shop suggested
Which rocker arms did you use on this.
I hate when someone posts a cool informative video, then never responds the any comments or questions
What lift cam
Nice Hurst Olds.
I have an olds 455 in a Jetboat… Tryna decide if it's worth it to build this motor or just go get a 6th gen 454 and……… turbo
Who "hates us all"?
Much less bad lol
What length pushrods and what did you have the heads mild to
Would stock rockers have worked for your build? They seem so easy to use but the cam needs to be under a .500 lift.
what intake did you use
Love the honesty – can you tell me what cam you used please?
Everything swaps over fairly easily, the starter, distributor, engine mounts and exhaust. The air conditioning box may need to be shaved and the #8 spark plug wire may need a 90 degree boot. Your carb linkage and TV cable will need tweaking or go with Lokar.. with stock wheels your axle and Trans will hold up for awhile but throw big tires on and you will find the limit quicker. Have fun!
I just got my 455 running a few weeks back in a 1970 442 been sitting since 2005
nope wrong size….yep right size
olds bb rocket 455 v8 ftw
You got a deeper oil pan you might need the 70 olds Tornado dipstick and tube to reach the bottom…
What pulleys did you use
Nice love the big block olds.
Same build going on now 84 cutlass
Beautiful… which car is your favorite?
