the buick 455 spring - 12/27/12 08:35 PM
Hi all I am just about to fire this thing up (late style 261 chevy) with new PG valves installed but I got a quick question about the 455 buick springs that are being installed as we speak! I got a set from the local machine shop and at first glance the spring-buick 455 that is, that I was givin is NOT taller than the stock 235 spring, I thought the correct 455 WAS taller than the 235 spring? Any info here would be exceedingly helpful as I dont want to ruin this motor with incorrect springs. Are there two different length 455 springs with one of them being shorter? my cylinder head guy says it looks 60 thousanths shorter than my stock 235 spring. I really dont want to run a marathon and trip at the finish line. Thanks in advance!
