I've seen 455 olds, lots of work, was very nose heavy. Radiator will be in front of the core support or you will cut and move the firewall about 2 1/2".

Well I know the 455 Buick is lighter than the 454 Chevy and the distributor in the front takes care of the firewall problem.If I can find a pre 75 455 Buick I know the heads and rods are better. I think the motor mounts will be the big problem.I am thinking the rear end from the donor vehicle to keep the gears,speedometer and drive-shaft simple.An electric fan for cooling..but the radiator...that is going to be the pain.
