I had a Olds 455 in a 232" 5000+ Lb 98 Regency but it was severely burdened with Calif smog stuff including a clogged Cat. Still never had to work hard getting from one gas station to the next. Great motors. I see a very fun future for you. -BA
I have a 12 bolt from a '68 with a rebuilt factory lsd. This thing should be scary fun.

days of boneyarding 30 years ago to find a cracked block replacement and still remember that

keep us posted, Dr. Oldsmobile would be proud

Hot damn you're good! It sure is! This thing has been fun to build but a hell of a lot more expensive than I had dreamed, hence the taking the build slow.
