Finally got her home and starting to go through the car. When I punched in the vin the car is coded as a 350 2 bbl. car has a Fa 455 4bbl with dual exhaust. Was wondering what scenarios would have caused this to happen?

 

Someone put in a different engine?

I wonder why you are wondering about this. There is only one scenario that would have caused this to happen.

 

"Act of God." "Thousand-year weather phenomenon." "Mechanical-temporo-spatial wormhole."

Lmao i guess I was looking for some exquisite response like Oldsmobile snuck in a few 455's as a surprise for their customers in 73 haha. I'll post some pics later of what's under the hood.

 

I've always said that it's far better to be a smart-@$$ than a dumb-@$$...

 

It would have been no surprise. The 455 was an option on the Delta 88 line in 1973 and any year of that era ('71 to '76). Many '73 Delta 88s have a factory-installed 455.

 

I guess when I bought it I just assumed the 455 was factory based on what the guy was told but thats what VIN #'s are for. Oh well Im just happy its there.

 

'Till the first time you try to pass a gas station, anyway...

The next question is where is the engine from, what year, compression, etc?
