Awesome Job!! I am so glad to see you did not ruin the car with a Chev transplant, like so many other people have done!!

There is not a Chev Big block that will out torque an Olds, when built dollar for dollar!!

Amen brother. Nobody likes a ba***rd.

I am restoring a 66 Cutlass, today I finally got the motor back in. It's a 455 bored 30 over with lots of goodies to make it go fast. The compression came in at 11-1 to 1.

Excellent!! I'm and Olds guy myself, although my interest in cars dropped significantly once I owned a home and tractors and things... But, here's my Oldsmobile. Being born in 1975, I've always been into the 80's GM cars, so other than a Grand National, this is pretty much the ultimate car for me. It's an 87 Cutlass, but with a 79 403 + .030, with all the typical goodness. Just a TH350 transmission though. But, it's a nice mix, imo. The 80's look with the power of pre-computer-nonsense. (This car had a computer originally, but all that crap is gone.)

Old, scanned Polaroids from putting the engine in 10 years ago. Doesn't seem like that long ago.
