Which motor has the most horsepower a Pontiac 455 or Buick 455?

The Pontiac 455 came in 3 versions. Base, High Output, and Super Duty. The base 1970-71 engine produced 200 hp and 455 lb/ft torque. The Super Duty 1970-71 engine had 335 hp and 480 lb/ft torque. Power was reduced after 1971. The Buick 455 came in 2 versions. The 1970 Base engine had 350 hp and 510 lb/ft torque. The Stage 1 engine had 360 hp and 510 lb/ft torque. So as you can see the Buick was the more powerful engine by far.

Those listed above are the highest performance available each year. Engine parameters for all 455 Pontiacs: bore-4.15 stroke-4.21 Main bearing size-3.25 rod bearing size-2.25 connecting rod legnth-6.625

What the difference between 455 Pontiac heads and 400 Pontiac heads?

The primary difference between 455 Pontiac heads and 400 Pontiac heads lies in their design and specifications, which affect performance and compatibility. The 455 heads typically have larger combustion chambers, allowing for higher displacement and more airflow, which can enhance power output. In contrast, 400 heads generally have smaller chambers and different port configurations, which can influence compression ratios and torque characteristics. Additionally, the valve sizes and flow capabilities may vary, making them suitable for different performance builds.
