My '55 has an LQ4 and 4l85e in it. Came out of a 2011 Isuzu N series van with only 81,000 miles on it. We rebuilt it anyway. Ball honed, new rings, main, rod and cam bearings. Mild cam in it. I haven't ha it dynode but guessing it comes in at over 350hp or so. Hooked to an 8.8 rearend with limited slip, four wheel power disc brakes.

For those interested, I just switched transmission covers from the factory flat cover to the factory humped four speed cover. Worked perfectly.
