Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this stunning and
rare�1970 Buick GS 455 Coupe. �Stage 1 Equipped. Must See!�
HISTORY
The 400 was replaced for 1970 with the {7.4 litre}�Buick V8, used
in the�GS 455. The base model V8 was rated 350�hp (260�kW) and
510�lb�ft (690�N�m) at 2800 rpm. In the optional Stage1 trim it was
rated** 360�hp (268�kW) and 510�lb�ft (691�Nm) at a low 2800 rpm.
As with all American engines produced prior to the 1972 model year,
these were SAE gross ratings, which are generally significantly
higher than SAE net ratings and are not indicative of what actual
production engines produce in their "as installed" condition (with
all engine accessories and full exhaust system in place). The
fastest magazine test results from this period were obtained by
MOTOR TREND Magazine, which managed to extract a 13.38 ET @ 105.5
MPH from their 3,810 pound GS Stage 1 coupe test car. Using Hale's
Trap Speed formula, this result indicated actual "as installed"
peak HP of approximately 360 SAE Net (ironically the same as its
advertised Gross Figure, meaning this engine was very
conservatively rated for that time period). The use of the larger
sized 455 block created a maintenance problem by the exhaust
manifolds being in too close proximity to the upper and lower A-arm
bushings. Heat would literally melt the A-arm bushings after a
relatively short period of time; rapid tire wear and front end
alignment difficulties were the first sign of this common problem,
which was common to all makes and models of this GM body style with
the 455 engine. It was not uncommon for front ends to be rebuilt
with grease fittings added, to "lube" the bushings at the A-arms,
to help against the heat. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
