- I'm looking for swap info on Olds 455 blocks. Basically I'm wondering if the
- block is physically similar to Pontiac and Buick 455 blocks...ie to the
- engine mounts line up and are the width/head clearances similar?
-
- Obviously I have one of the beasts and no decent car to put it in (along with
- a TH400) and I'm trying to look at options...decent Old's seem scarce around
- here...one other thing someone told me that I found a bit odd is they say
- the Olds 455 block is the same size as the 350 block?!?!?! This sounds a bit
- far fetched but is it true? Anyone have any experience swapping Olds 350 and
- 455 blocks?
-
- Any comments would be appreciated...and any offers if anyone wants the engine/
- tranny/etc....its still in a car and running....
