    455 buick big block, is it worth it?

     



    so i currently have a 355 sbc in my volvo hotrod im building, but ive found a matching 455/TH400 together for 500. i was just wondering, is there any potential with this engine for a good solid racing engine? i was looking to push 500 hp all motor, and as i said it has the transmission bolted to it. is it possible to get these numbers out of that engine, or should i keep looking? i was looking for something to rebuild on the side for a potential drag engine/trans. just wondering.

    :just incase, i just noticed a pontiac big block thread, so if a mod could, maybe move this to a proper space?:
