Another note if you do find another Buick 455, the Comp 268H is a great cam that makes good power and sound. When you take off the stock intake and put on an aluminum intake on these buicks you lose most of the weight difference between the 455 and a stock small block Chevy, the stock intake IS that heavy!

You'll also want to change the timing chain and gears, and get the fel-pro intake gaskets instead of the stock-style tin valley gasket.

The Buick 455 and the Cadillac 500 are the big torque monsters. The Buicks can make huge torque at down as low as 2800 RPM.
