Interesting question since I am currently in the process of doing just this.
First off you will need to custom fabricate motor mounts for this install.
You will also need to custom fabricate a transmission mount.
The two piece drive shaft will have to be shortened with a new front spline to fit the new transmission.The dynaflow will not bolt up to the 455.
Now for the hard part the front steering linkage will need to be lowered about two inches to accomadate the 455 oil pan or I suppose a custom oil pan could be made.
Also the Power Steering will not fit in the engine compartment without removing some of the drives side wheel covering.I chose to cut this out and weld in a plate to cover the hole.
Also the transmission linkage on a turbo400(my transmission choice)is on the wrong side but any aftermarket shifter with cable linkage should work.
The exhaust manifolds/headers will not line up to the factory exhaust and the front of the exhaust system will need to be modofied accordingly.
Lastly there is no chance that the hood will close without cutting a hole in it or putting on a scoop.

Will Pontiac 455 headers fit a Buick 455?
Pontiac 455 headers generally do not fit a Buick 455 due to differences in the engine's exhaust port locations and bolt patterns. While both engines are part of the General Motors family and share some similarities, the specific design and dimensions of the exhaust manifolds and headers vary. If you're looking to upgrade to headers for a Buick 455, it's best to choose headers specifically designed for that engine to ensure proper fit and performance.

Will a 1969 455 Buick engine fit in a 1985 Buick regal?
Yes, a 1969 455 Buick engine can fit into a 1985 Buick Regal, as both vehicles share a similar body platform. However, some modifications may be necessary, including adjustments to the engine mounts, transmission compatibility, and possibly the exhaust system. Additionally, the 455 engine is larger and heavier, so it's important to ensure that the suspension and brakes can handle the increased power and weight.
Can you drop a 455 in an 88 Oldsmobile toronado trofeo and if you can what tranny should you go with?
Yes, it is possible to drop a 455 engine into an 1988 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo, but it may require modifications to fit properly. A compatible transmission option would be the TH400 or a 200-4R transmission, which can handle the power of the 455 engine.

a 455 you need to buy a engine mount kit from national parts depot or just make it easy and weld them in place. I put in a 455 into a 1970 lemans, the car never came with a 455 but i had no problems mounting it in. Attach the motors mounts to the frame mounts put in the engine check and make sure it is level attach it to the trans then weld away yoy will love the 455 its a beast.
