those automobiles got here with an Olds 403 interior the late '70s. The 455 is an analogous externally different than the deck top. each and all the climate must be used from one, or offered at an motor vehicle components save. If the engine is a Chevy, the transmission it truly is interior the vehicle won't paintings. If it truly is a Pontiac engine, the transmission will paintings. i do no longer comprehend what transmission is interior the vehicle, yet i would not use any computerized different than the TH350 or TH400 in the back of the 455. The TH400 tranmission you have will paintings interior the vehicle and bolt proper up. relying on in spite of if it truly is an prolonged shaft or short shaft, you're able to ought to have the driveshaft shortened or a custom length made. the only different project is headers. via deck top difference, headers for the 403 won't paintings, yet production unit exhaust manifolds probable will. If the 455 has manifolds, try them. in the event that they do no longer paintings, try a set off off a 403 motor vehicle or a set of headers from an A or G physique with this engine.

I don't think there is a cheap answer to your question. If performance is'nt an issue with you, J heads can be found pretty cheap (for heads). Used cores can be found on eBay for anywhere between 150-200 dollars.

Machining the heads isn't your problem...it's more likely the timing or fuel/air mixture is wrong.
Shaving heads doesn't change compression much at all. If they took more than .030 off anyway, your valves are hitting the pistons.
