Re: 455 in olds delta 88

I would imagine you would have to do some cutting into the frame rails to get a big block in there. Parts for a 455 are also a lot more expensive and would turn it into a costly project. I would probably build a strong small block, stroke it and bored it. That way you could drop your 700R4, or maybe a TH350 or 400 in. As far as mounts, I think you can get away with normal ones. I'm not too familiar with the 200R4, but I know the 700R4, TH250, TH30, and TH400 have similiar bolt and mounting patterns. Just remember, its still a Delta 88, you're going to put a motor in a car that is pretty overweight. Good luck, let us know how it goes!
