85 Limited LC2 or 455

My first love from Buicks came from big block cars.

BOP big blocks? Nah, Chevy owned that title within the GM family...

To me this is the best cam hands down for a mildly built BBB. My Lunati I had was almost identical to this one. Mine had slightly less lift. Still have all the torque, but it would wrap out to 6k or more with ease. All with 2 plane intake and ported manifolds.

That is fantastic news! What are the plans? Personally, if the motor is healthy I would put in a cam suited for stock motors, get some better rockers and adjustable push rods, maybe some headers, Edelbrock B4B intake, and try to score a '71 455 Q Jet. Oh, and a good distributor.

The guy I bought it from said the motor had a slight knock and he swapped it out for a customer who wanted a 455 in his GS. He seemed to very honest and based on the casting #s the motor is just what he said it was. Except for the rebuilt your suggestions are very close to what I had planned to do with it.

Sounds like my 430. It had a spun bearing due to low oil pressure after I did a monster burnout. Then I had it rebuilt.
