Did a little research last night and everyone I talked to said a turbo
charger would destroy a 455 olds engine. That I would be better off
with a blower. Well turbo sounded good for gas mileage and the space
issue that would be encountered. So I will address that motor issue in
the future unless anyone has any great ideas. I would also like to
know what would help with the control of the beast. It rides good some
new shocks might help with that but the front and rear of this pig is
all over the road. I would like it a bit more stable. I am sure I will
hear I need a new front end a few times and a steering box might not
be a bad idea, but any ideas would be great. Oh yeah I found these
tricked out 455 olds engines online with about 600-800 HP that I would
live to throw in the gmc run me around 13000 just for the engine,
OUCH. We will see tons of time there will definitely be some upgrades
in the future. Thanks fellas
