nice score on your ride sir. you sir found the needle in the haystack for sure. have fun.

 

That is SO sweet!!

 

Very nice find ! Love these types of builds! Following along

 

I am happy for you, you have found a very cool 442.
I would be even happier if it were mine😎

 

Well update. Found the two front wheels so bought a set of cheap tires for now hoping to get them. Mounted in the next week or so.


picked up a 403 for my daughters car kinda something inside me kept telling me to get it. Well long story short it may not go into my daughters 72 I may swap her for a 455 as the 403 has a manual crank and I feel it’s best to drop into the cc
wish me luck swapping her a sbo for a bbo lol 17 years old I may need help.


cutting oil filter tomorrow

 

The last owner around 1974

 

Very interesting car. As said, so cool on the very old, aftermarket parts. Was that dash originally red, I assume?

 

yes car is a black on red
was painted early 70’s

 

 

Mounted you tires still need to clean them a bit more

Lookin good Justin!

 

been awhile almost 5years! I am currently building a date correct block for some fun HP I will keep the Original in a corner for now! I did get it running so that is a plus.

here is the builder really hoping to finish this in the next couple of months would love to take her out before winter so I can get a list of stuff that needs done over the winter.

 

Good to see your progress Justin!

 

Those 400E's are some of best motors Olds ever made!

 

this is a 65 400 B block probably the same block though
