It's been a while since we had an engine teardown video and today this one gets a bit more violent than most! A new customer of ours had reached out months ago about needing help with and Olds 455 build to repower one of big body Oldsmobile classics, well time has come to tear down the shortblock and see just what we are working from.
Fortunately the only thing we really need to survive from this engine teardown is the block. As long as that is good, we're replacing everything else in this thing and topping it off with a brand new set of Edelbrock aluminum heads. Now all we need to do is strip this thing down... which ends up being way more difficult than expected!
