I actually used 1972 & 1973 Buick 455's for dirt track racing with huge success. Absolutely loved them. Only modifications I made we're switching to HEI, hi volume oil pump and a comp cams 268 cam. Otherwise 100% bone stock. I beat the snot out of those motors night after night and they just took it. Loved em.
Thats awesome. No real damage, and I'm really looking forward to this build.
me too!!!!! so nice to have something different.
Richard must have the best wife ever to let him stay out this late!!
You get to a point in a marriage. Where wife’s prefer you’re not home 🤣.. as long as the bills being paid
hahahahahaha
@@mrcasperjensen can't wait
My ex let's me walk on the freeway anytime I want!
Ha ha ha yeah that's probably true he be the luckiest man on the planet lol
Wow, that was the best case scenario.
Best case Ontario.
Asks if we want a tear down, delivers in record time hahaha Can’t wait for more of this build
If it doesn't cause coil bind maybe shim those stock springs for all they're worth! Let us know!
Just the best video content FOR FREE, Richard all your hard work is appreciated thank you
I would love to see the stock heads ported and big valves together with a nice intake and a cam, you know, old school shade tree
How do you have under 100k subs.....this is what every car enthusiast wants to see. Love this vid and all the comparison vids. Keep up the good work.
just started this year-its growing but not interested in getting bigger so much as better
Glad it's a simple problem, looking forward to see what's next. Also, very excited to see the cad 500. Under-square for the win!
The Cad 500 is square. 4.3 x 4.3
Only with Richard could a blown head gasket = blessing lol
And it is! Because more dyno pulls!
Hell yeah! I guessed it! Chambers look good. I like the shape of the quench areas. Comparable to modern heads in some aspects.
If it were my engine, I'd have the heads flycut (ideally, put through a shaper) and then have the block decked to make sure they're nice and flat, otherwise the next set of gaskets might just blow anyway.
Told you it was a head gasket! The video showed the steam pouring out!
lol...I said the same thing on the other video that it was the head gasket and the last run the water was shooting up out of the water pump very high....a lot of people was saying it was a piston do to ring Gap
So at one time, the entire engine has been rebuilt. .030 over pistons, a rebuild tag on the heads. Might still be in decent shape, except for wherever it picked up all that water/rust in the ports... More boost....I mean if you are gonna blow it up with boost, you might as well go big..
At least clean the rust out of those intake ports, I would hate to see some of that come loose and damage something for no reason.
Does the 30 stamped in the pistons mean .030 over?
Yes. .030 over.
@@hendo337 OK, I'm going to be that guy. It's actually 462.087 if you do the math. :-)
I'm sure he'll clean them up?
I thought this was a stock motor? Stock motors don't come 30 over. I'm surprised Richard didn't either notice that it's been bored or touch on the fact that it was bored. So what's the compression ratio? Did they put different piston's in this to keep the ratio stock or does it have more then stock?? Cmon Richard let's find out.
@@hendo337 462
Also agree, shim the stock springs like "shade tree" would.
Your plan sounds great. Love stock engines with turbos for us poor folks. Keep the vids coming!
The sequence of upgrades being incremental along with testing of each change is very helpful. Thank you.
Cool just a head gasket. Awesome tear down. And more beer stuff to come. Thanks Richard.
Those are all great before and after tests. That’s why we are all watching. Thanks again
I had a 76 model 455 out of a station wagon in a 71 GS. It had a small Kenne Bell cam, Hooker headers, and a HEI. It ran 13:10 in the quarter.
Thank you for spoon feeding us we lost so many motors along the way that could have been used.
Glad to see it was just a head gasket. Looking forward to more mods on this engine. Good to see something different. Would be cool to see a heads, cam and intake upgrade on this engine, with the boost.
That smogger intake is stupid heavy I agree! Thanks for all the hard work Richard! This is great stuff for a buick guy.. loving every minute
Thanks for doing this video. You have a solid plan for this 455, looking forward to seeing more videos on it.
Awesome videos. Richard my wife blames you for my Magnum 318 turbo build. She always seems to find your videos up on the screen. Keep up the good work.
Don't forget to pocket port those heads after the seats are cut for the bigger valves.
Those heads were pretty clean under the covers, maybe somebody did a valve job on it at some point.
Hooray thanks for tearing it down so we could see!
Hi Richard
You are doing a great job 👍
Update to stage 1 😁
The world is enjoying your awesome video and tests
Cool, glad to see it didn’t hurt a piston, can’t wait to see it making all that brutal torque again! 😁👍🏻
I love the videos this guy does!
Everybody's engine ends up in a video, on the dyno, and almost every one under boost to see them pushed hard.
Anyone who spends this much time away from "Chevy land" deserves big props!
Richard I just sat through an entire cat food ad that came on after this video and I did it for you.
I have to say Richard, you are a work 'Animal"! It takes a lot of patients to monkey around with the stock hardware as much as you do. I'd get too impatient and end up rushing right to the head, Intake, & cam upgrades. And then of course to the most awesome stage of the build, BOOST!
Keep them coming Richard awesome video I had a stage one Buick back in the day. It was a 1970 455 stage 1 Cran Cam fireball 3310-1 Holley carb ran good. This was 1979
OH YEAH!!!! That was just plain lucky!!! May as well put in the lifter boss supports. What about head studs? This is turning out GREAT!!!!
Take the stock cast iron intake and remove as much of the middle 4 hole Q-Jet part as you can to see if it will help increase top end power with the holley carb! I really enjoyed the other guys motors, keep up the good work!
Glad you are gonna fix it and send it again with the boost! Be very interesting to see what happens!
Awesome video. I honestly thought the engine was going to be far worse off than it is. Seeing as you are going to fix it up and run it stock to get the 500 before you put your secret end of video plan together, can you run the aluminium intake on it with everything else stock, to see how good/bad the factory piece is? That way we can see if the only performance gain is the weight reduction.
There are adaptors you can use to adapt bigblock Mopar intakes to bigblock Buick engines. Tunnel Rams & shit.
I love seeing this and these kind of "how much boost or power will a stock motor take" videos...Thanks!
Whew......only a blown head gasket. Easy fix.
Since your in it this far go ahead and cam it, the torque curve is way ahead the hp curve. The 455 is craving more cam!
U have to love those TQ numbers. Now let's make this combo reliable so we could enjoy
Also weigh the parts as you change them. Cant wait to see NA #'s after head and intake upgrades.
Hmmmm weren't Buick stage ones quicker than the Hemi on the street back in the day ??
@John Presnell I've seen built 455 Buicks making over 800+hp NA with a single 4-barrel. They have plenty of potential, but the parts are expensive as hell.
I love tearing down carnage. You never know what your guna get!
I can tell you if I had mentors back in the day like Richard id be a much nicer mechanic today. Guy looks like he just has fun at work.
dyno testing is great fun-its a lot of work-but very cool stuff
I never saw inside a Buick port before, only really SBC.
Looks kinda like a good aftermarket SBC port.
I was thinking the same thing. Only issue with that being it's feeding an engine that's over 50 cu. in. bigger than a typical 383/400 SBC.
Makes me wonder if a streetable 600hp is possible with ported stock heads and a good cam.
I thought those ports looked pretty good considering they're vintage Buick Grandpa car parts.
I would like to see them with a basic port job
@@of_lion22 600hp ain't hard to get with a 455 Buick. Stage 2 heads make it real easy.
If you’re not going to surface the heads or block, put studs in it to improve the holding force. And as others have said, clean the rust out of the ports. A rotary wire wheel should make quick work of it. Thanks for documenting the tear down.
Love this Buick 455 series!
The Power dynamics of Big Bore , Short Stroke motors are legendary. Ford 429's shared similar bore/stroke with similar impressive results. Destroked SBC 400 blocks [4.125"bore] with 3.25" and 3.48" strokes equally prodigious with good heads. Apparently these combo's fill and empty combustion chambers more efficiently.
Wow I thought for sure she broke a land. Wow thanks man this was awesome especially the spring info you the man keep it up
This is fun to watch, but I'm looking forward to the real build. Buick 455's love to spin if you can get some oil to them through that crappy lubrication system.
I like your videos of this engine series the best so far! Every step has been fun!
I admire a video host that does his own work and gets dirty like the rest of us do!!!
That was awesome... Just felt a big relief when you showed the piston and valves were just right, hope to see all the thing you have in mind with this engine and hopefully as u said on the last video, put forged internals and see what this nice engine is capable of! And im really waiting to see the upgrades for the inline 6 292 turbo!!!
Turn up the Hard Bass! You deserve it Richard.
It's good that was a cheap fix. Nice heads on that engine. I was thinking about how hard it is to find a 455? My friends had trouble finding 440,s, 454 parts are pricey but I'm not sure about how easy they are to find. I see lots of 460 ford engines but they are newer ones with EFI. I look forward to more 455 thrashing.
Richard, great work! Keep it up. I can't wait for more👍😎
Well glad to see that I guessed wrong on losing a valve. I wonder if the gasket got wounded on the nitrous and the turbo finished it? Maybe you can cheat and shim the stock springs for a little more open pressure.
Edit, and maybe let us know how far down the hole the pistons are, thought I saw an oversize stamp on them. Cheap rebuild ones can be short and cause issues... but I'm sure you are well aware of that.
Headgaskets are a problem. I have had multiple issues of headgaskets blowing out between cylinders given the super thin area between cylinders. The good news is it will run good on 6 cylinders although it is weird to hear all piston events from one bank at highway speeds :p
Excellent, What a fantastic overachiever 👍
Order of upgrade events makes perfect sense
EXCELLENT NEWS ! 👌😎👍 Looking forward to more !
P.S: Are you adjusting the piston ring gap at this time ? 🤔 You should. 👌
not yet-fingers crossed
Awesome that it was just a head gasket. I still think that you should pull the pistons and gap the rings so you do not have to do it later or possibly damage a cylinder liner. Thanks again for including us in the dyno fun. 😁
I think I saw a 30 stamped in the top of the piston. I'd check the bore to see if it's been rebuilt.
That Awesome Richard I can't wait to see how it turns out.
I like how this is turning out.
MLS gaskets and new head bolts possibly? Can’t wait to see this thing with a decent set of heads, manifold and cam!!
what ever happened with the Buick 455 upgrade series? I was really looking forward to the head and cam upgrade video! thanks for al the testing, Rich!
Back in the early 80s, I had a 71 Skylark that I "swapped in" a 71 455 out of an Estate Wagon. Within 500 miles, I had about the same thing happen to me. Unfortunately, the water washed out my rings and bearings. A local 'hero' who owned a machine shop convinced me to knurl the cylinder walls, saving me from having to buy new pistons. I used plain iron Hastings rings and Moraine 400 bearings on the now .020" under main & rod bearings - yeah, they were that bad! We hot-tanked, sand-blasted, and tanked again the heads, then gasket-matched the intake ports to an Offenhauser 360° aluminum intake. Found a totalled 71 TA and yanked the 800 cfm Quadra-bog. Slapped in a parts-store HEI. It took 3 days of driving it to & from work, and 4 runs down the dragstrip, for the rings to figure out the knurled cylinder walls and stop smoking! What a great learning curve there for a 19 year old!
Called it.. also heck yeah shim the springs for fun... lol Didn't really see the head bolt arrangement well. seemed odd that it pushed to the valley dead center in the quench area with near perfect shaping???
Thanks for all the great videos and thanks for keeping them free for us low budget youtubers 😀
I stand corrected; I guessed ring gap.
I like the idea of 'just' a new head gasket.
Run it til it fails!
I'd like to see how much abuse the 455 can handle before the lower extremities fail.
However, I'm impressed it produced over seven hundred foot pounds, held together, and only pushed out a head gasket. I hope a stronger gasket is available for the Buick.
Great informative and best of all fun stuff. I’ve got a survivor centurion that would be even cooler with your setup under the hood..
now on to watching my real fav the Pontiac. Who’s kidding who all this is a blast!! Great work.
Richard Holdener
sounds like a good plan you have there. Probably a good idea would be after you clean the decks, to at least take a strait edge and feeler gauge to check the tolerances. You did push a gasket so it would suck if there was a bad low spot at the #4 and it just pushes another gasket. Also maybe measure how far the pistons are in the hole so you can see what the compression ratio is. Alot of Dodge 318's were known to be between .040-.060 down so it would be interesting to know on this Buick.
Awesome. Planning on running a brush on those ports just to clean up the rust?
Happy you are going this route.
Would like to see ring gap change, cam and spring upgrade, rebuild and test.
You certainly are a worker to get so much done this late.
Thanks for sharing.
Thats great it just blew a HG. The cylinders and pistons look in great shape. Maybe the bottom end was overhauled at one time.
I figured it was a head gasket. Id like to see you copy the set up me and my pawpaw threw together on my new to me 76 Delta 88 with 68,000 miles on the clock the whole car is in amazing shape. We put a edelbrock torker intake from the 80's and a rebuilt Holley 750 double pumper my pawpaw has had for years a comp xe274 hydraulic flat tappet cam and lifters and comps cheapest pushrods, pac valve springs and a petronix hei distributor and a melling fuel pump my pawpaw found a set of mid length headers I m turning it to 6100rpm and i found a used tci 2200rpm converter its got a n.o.s big shot wet plate system jetted for a 100 shot but haven't sprayed it yet I was waiting to see how all your tests went. It definitely picked up alot of power i welded the spider gears up and now that big boat gets silly at red lights
Sounds like paw paw like to party 🤟
@@kylewilliams6349 He sure does! LoL he's been racing and a church of god preacher since the 70's, my grandparent's are who raised my iv been goin to the track with him since i was 5 until he stopped racing in 2004 when I was 14 then he put me in the car and started running 7.0 index racing if it wasn't for him i wouldn't hide money from the old lady to buy race car parts lol. When I bought the Delta 88 3 or 4 months ago and he found out it was a big block car his exact words where " I haven't fooled around with a Oldsmobile for a long time " that was it about a month later this is where we are... LoL its been a good time but this winter that boat anchor is coming out and a turbo ls setup is goin in I bought the car to see if i could go fast on 26's big wheel racing has blew up around where i stay in Alabama
@camaroguy 66 but it backfires on my sometimes lol last month i bought a drum of ignite red e90 and she happened to walk outside and caught me struggling to get it unloaded and she asked where i got the money and I qas about 4 tenths of a second late on my answer and got busted lol you said you didn't have the money to take me out for lunch but you got money for that stupid truck lol!! I understand alot of people dont like big wheels but there's a right and wrong way to do it in my opinion there's a fine line between looking nice & classy and guady. But I've always liked big wheels in 2006 when I got my license i had a 94 Cadillac deville and i saved for a year to buy a set of 22's for it. But i grudge race more than anything and at the moment thats where all the money is and i figured since iv been pretty fast on hard tires I would give it a shot. Ive ran consistent 6.30s on a 400 treadwear 275/60/15s at 120mph in my small tire turbo 99 z28
@@ZboeC5 I feel the same way there will always be a set of Hoosier's and some front runners laying around for mine but I also look at like the challenge of goin fast on a hard tire with no sidewall there are a few cars nmm on 26s that are getting close to the 9's in the 1/4 and pretty low in the 6's in the 1/8
Also, I love these videos where you are working on and dissecting even more than the dyno results review. Keep it up
I think Richard has fallen in love with this Buick.
I so badly want to build a GSX clone
With a Cadillac 500?
Welcome to the club Richard
Richard Treat that Buick right baby no half stepping some of us Buick guys really need to know Brody do your thing and max em out💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 💪💪💪
what a fun series this is! i'm learning about a classic Buick big block and sharing vicariously in the fun of hot rodding this thing to space, and maybe even the moon. aye Mr. Holdener?
I think a stock parts build would be interesting. Maybe a 9 or 9.5:1 compression to be boosted for great midrange real world power, and cruising. Being a high reving low compression, boosted 455 would need many high dollar parts and only be good for the track.
Good job Richard.. gotta fiddle w the heads some once you have them off. Even w New springs the Stock Cam Intake lift is not quite .400... Not gonna make much difference up top.
love it! so awesome that you are running a mid 70s 455 just like the one in my car. can't wait to see what the mild cam does for power.
we think a72- 73 according to TA
yeah mine is a 73 in my 68 GS
Hey Richard. Please run the new comp cam in the stock head, so we can see the actual gains with bigger valves after the change.
no springs
Go back and look at my comment on the last video, I even nailed what cylinder it was!! Pretty obvious since you could see the water pouring out before you even started the run. :-) Bound to be some better springs available that would fit without machining. Also do not put that head back on without some real good studs!!!!! Cometic probably not a good option on there unless you get the head and block machined correctly for them. Maybe an old school sold copper gasket if you can find one?
I personally ran the SNOT out of the mid 70s 455s because they had the larger oil transfer journal from sump to pump so they were harder to blow up.. the low compression sucks but the bottom end is strong on those guys.. I knew it was gonna be a head gasket when it happened :D
455 Buicks do not have many head bolts and the iron on both sides of the gaskets is fairly thin when compared to heavier heads and blocks.
I just found out about this video. Not sure what all happened before,. BUT ... This is from the Buick GSX-tra magazine ... the "bible" for Buick engine building. The Comp Cams 910-16 springs are a simple drop on and are the same as the factory Stage 1 valve springs (single spring w.dampner). Around 95-100 lbs. on the seat and over 275 lbs open with a .500" lift cam, as best I remember. Your "stock" springs are just a single lo-po "Electra" variety spring. No machine work needed for the 910's. Will take up to a .500 lift cam. No 455 built this mildly will make its power over 5200 rpm. But it will make plenty of hp & torque up to ~5200 rpm.
BTW Sir the music is freaking awesome. As you have said before, vets at this stuff don't listen the the haters. I think that thing was a champ for the old gaskets to make it that long. New ones with a bit of deck sanding and the heads machined and a tweak little extra tisty-twist on the head bolts, it will rock. Freaking amazing vids as always
I’m loving where you’re going with this build🤘😎🤘
Totally thought the rings bound up.
I'm so happy to see that it wasn't something super serious Richard! I like your phased upgrade approach as well, I'm curious how the "upgraded" heads with springs and valve job and larger valves do with the stock cam. It looks like it's been rebuilt at some point in the past judging by the 30 on those cast pistons, hopefully the bores are in nice shape! Cheers from Japan!
Can’t wait for the cam , head and intake upgrade!!
Might as well add some head studs while you are at it. Those old factory head gaskets held in there a bit longer then I thought they would have.
Really cool, glad it's just a head gasket. Also that wrong cam t-shirt is awesome.
Your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...
