The purpose behind this engine was to build a max effort street strip Buick 455 combo, using the new Edelbrock heads. The heads are fully ported and will be available from Competition Components. The car is regularly street driven, weighs 3900+ lbs and is cruised regularly, so race fuel was not an option.

- Finishline Halo Girdle
- Stock 455 Buick Crank
- 4340 Pontiac I Beam rods (modified to fit Buick journal)
