Guest Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I am proud to say I am now the owner of a 1972 Electra 225 today!! Has alot of power under the hood and inside the car. I was wondering does any one have the horsepower and torque specs to the 455 and those of you who helped me on my lesabre thanks i figured it out.

Turbo Loyd Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 [color:"blue"]Here is a handy source of information for a lot of different engineshttp://www.nhra.com/tech_specs/engine/Not sure if I agree with the compression ratio for your year 455, but the horsepower figures should be accurate.

Guest Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Great link Turbo Loyal,But I agree the compression ratio should be 8.5 to 1. My Chiltons manual lists 4 different horsepowers for 455's and 2 additional HPs for Stage 1 engines. 2bbl carb225@4000 360@2600250@4000 375@28004bbl carb260@4400 380@2800270@4400 390@3000Stage 1315@4400 450@2800345@5000 460@3000You most likely have the 260 or 270 hp engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
