To adjust the rocker arms on a 455 Oldsmobile engine, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the cylinder you’re adjusting. Loosen the rocker arm nut and turn the pushrod until you feel resistance, then tighten the nut until it makes contact with the pushrod. Finally, turn the nut an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn to achieve the proper preload. Repeat this process for each cylinder, following the firing order.

Which 455? Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac? The most powerful 1973 455 would be the Pontiac 455 Super Duty rated at 290hp @ 4000rpm. It was underrated, since factory stock examples were running 13.5-13.9 @ 103-107mph at the drags, which requires more than 290Hp. Car and Driver tested one with an automatic and it ran 13.751 @ 103.6 with a stock tires and a full tank of gas. The weight of a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am would require at least 350-375 hp to turn those numbers.
stock size is P235 60 16
Stock bore size 64mm Max 66.5mm
65% of 455= 65% * 455= 0.65 * 455= 295.75
29% of 455= 29% * 455= 0.29 * 455= 131.95
The simple answer is a 468. If you change the stroke from the stock 4.25 it will also make a difference in the number.
