Is this a good deal?

Its a Jim Butler built 455 Rich.
Likely worth $7k.
Why do you want 600 Hp ?
Till your hips get fixed, 500 Hp is plenty.
Smoke all stock Vettes if you can hook up.
 
Head porting. Race style cam. Big tube race headers.
Race Holley Carb. Matching Race intake. $$

That's my inner child talking :lol: It just seems that many new cars are in the 500 hp range and I was just thinking in terms of bragging rights above those, but you're right, high 400 to low 500 hp is fine. I can't drive anything of this nature right now, it would just be absolute torture.
 
Brian, I've been coming across several Pontiac Tri-power manifolds, some with carbs - one with just the center. Prices range from $300 to $700. I found one that is a Pontiac Aluminum intake dual Quads for $700 (I never saw one of those yet). Loads of heads too. Do you want me to copy and send them to you? I haven't called any of them. Seems there's no shortage of parts just a surplus of opportunists looking to get rich!

Hang onto your cash Rich $&$.
I am after the Original Pontiac Super Duty 421 Heads.
Only other production heads that perform like 1970 Ram Air 4 heads.
Won't come inexpensive.
They used Factory Aluminum 4-2-1 Exhaust mainfolds- headers.
421 SD.
 
Buying complete Muncie 4-speeds & Factory installed Hurst shifters are a good investments Rich.
Never go down in value. What I did for 15 + years.
Rebuild & Flip them. Double or Triple my $$$.
