Hi,

You're building a sleeper... You state you have a '72 Lemans..
What year is the 455? is it an SD or HO? What kind of 4-speed tranny? M20/M22/M21??
You probably won't need a lot or rear gears... 3.42/3.55 would work great with that 455..

So many questions. Keep us informed...

I had a 455 in my dads cutlass, it was great till it bent a few push rods and wiped a lobe on the camshaft! Probs because the guy we baught it from never put high zinc aditive in the oil! and Now it is a driveway ordiment, i want to get that thing on the road!
