I have a 1955 400 that i bought in 2003 I have replaced 3 ultras in this car; the best was the original which lasted 51 years until it gave up on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Of those three rebuilt Ultras NONE lasted for more than 2 years. In 2014 I had Bendtsens 700r conversion kit and a GM transmission installed in my car; although it cost a boatload of cash to do it (about 4K) the car has never been better! The last time I drove to Hershey for the car show I drove from my home (Philadelphia Pa) to Hershey and used only about 5 gal of gas I could not believe it. The car also has more performance and far more guts than it ever had before.
