It's a 455 with just a little work as far as I'm aware. 10.5 :1 compression, cam ,some internal stuff. It presents as stock in all other respects (stock manifolds, exhaust, carb etc).
It was originally a 350 and it still has the TH 350 trans with Hurst dual gate shifter.......and wait for it..... factory optional 8-track player. I hope it works cos I've been buying cartridges on ebay. Cruise control also (won't be using that) and something's been done to the diff. Oil capacity has been increased by 1 pint so maybe there's something going on in there. I'm hoping it's as nice as it looks.:fingers:

Thanks for pointing me in this direction Chris. I'm looking forward to being part of the club.
I reckon you'll get a shock just how quick "your wife's" Olds will be. The old Rocket engines are legendary. You won't be holding up traffic that's for sure..... even if it is an 84 year old dentist's car:zip:

Go the Big Blocks...:bow:
I used to own a 74 Cutlass coupe about 10 years ago it went to Newcastle. Some of you may have seen it around.
It also had the 455, what a fun ride that was. It only ever used petrol and tyres.
WOTSA442......Since it is not a numbers matching car... can i go crazy under your bonnet? :rub: Some more go-fast goodies...
