70 Olds Toronado 455 W-34 in 442

I have a 1969 Olds Cutlass Holiday Coupe 442 with a 1970 Toronado 455 with the W-34 high performance option under the hood. Utilized the torque converter that came with the motor/ What do you all think of his combination?

Forgot to mention it was rebuilt and has just over 7,000 miles. Runs and looks great and gets lots of favorable comments but 442s are mostly ignored at shows in Colorado. Any thoughts on the engine 442 combination, plus or minus?

Nice looking car! I would love to have that motor, I do have a 69 G block 400 motor, I heard it run probably 12 years ago and it sounded good, but hasnt been started since.

Did you forget about this tread you started back in May? It told you about everything you can wonder about the W34 engine.
