That worse thing is he's still calling it a rocket.

Should have bought a Chevelle

Cutlass with a LS1

 

Redog

Fer me it won't open [maybe that's good]

 

I would drive it, especially with an LS1 in it!

 

This could get ugly.

Hey Redog, you redogged him good with your comments.

"Motor of the decade".

 

Chevy engines = cheap hp but to me they are boring. Freedom of choice what can you do

 

You could always get the faux Oldsmobile valve covers for your Chevy engine. Then it would look "authentic."

 

LOL Now thats just funny Sh*t there!

 

light, compact, great hp potential esp with twin turbos. if the owner is happy, I'm just tickled to death.

 

Nice job redog with the comments. Yeah I'm sure it is real fast but it still would be better with a 455. Oh well.

 

And what's the long term plans. Years ago I purchased a 1966 Buick Special with a fresh rebuilt 1970 Olds 455 in it. He'd been trying to sell it for a long time, but the Buick guys didn't want it with the Olds engine, and Olds guys didn't want the Buick skin on their engine! I bought it, kept the motor, trannie and posi rear end then sold the rest to a Buick guy

Last year I talked with a guy on ebay. He'd built a nice looking 1970 442 convertible clone but put a Chebby 454 under the hood. He said when he was building it he had no plans to ever sell it. But life changes sometimes... and he ran into the same problem. Nobody was willing to pay near what he'd invested in the car. If he'd kept it all Oldsmobile it would have sold for sure at his minimum bid because it was (and I'm sure still is) a very nice car.

It's all GM, but there's a much larger following of people who want their car to be ALL that make and not a mixed bag of parts. John

 

I like how he makes it seem like he didnt spend alot of money on a twin turbo ls1, and all the other things he had to do to put that in there..

 

Oh well...

 

He could have bought a newer Camaro that has an LS1 in it from the factory.
Oh well.

I guess Chevy engine are like a 10 dollar hooker. Their cheep and easy, but some guys go for that.

I know I sold all my Chevy stuff and bought all Olds stuff. I like classier women and cars.

 

Well said!!!!!

 

I sold my Chebby pimpmobile and and bought an Olds pimpmobile, I like classier pimpmobiles.
I know when they see the talent getting out of that baby I can get twenty dollars woof at least, they best better get it or no sugar from daddy.
Anybody know where to buy some vintage porta-wall wide whitewalls.

 

Oh Gawd!!!!!!

 

I love this vid.

Runs a 13.3... Makes the comment about how he doesn't have "some people's money" and it's "still better than a 455"... Uh, letsee, stock 455 rebuild $2k? Nice cam $200, shave the heads a few thou to bump compression $200, performer intake $200, call it $2500-3000 for a 455 to out perform this car and then some. Wonder what kind of $ is tied up into this thing...

I don't understand how he was in 6th gear by the 1/8th mile

I would guess with a twin turbo Ls1 and a T56 he probably has at least double in it then if he just went with a 455

 

I have no issue with this car.

 

 

I really don't care that much, but these cars really need Olds Motors in them and it's not like they can't be found.
