Hello to all,

I'm happy to have found a site with many like minded folks. I look forward to the interaction and fellowship. Little about me you ask? I've owned Oldsmobiles since I was 16. (37 now) Currently I'm restoring/ restifying the White 1985 442 I purchased 15+ years ago. 100k miles and very solid body. As mentioned, it is white, which I believe is a rare color, maroon interior, T-Tops and includes all options except power trunk release. I've built a .30 over 455 Olds very similar to the Car Craft rebuild specs a few years ago. My hope is to have it look as if this was a factory option. Anywho...right now I'm in the process of painting.

Look forward to speaking with you all.

 

Welcome aboard! We're glad to have you! These guys on here are very knowledgable and helpful, and we all like to talk! We also love pictures, so get some on soon! LOL!!

 

Sounds like a nice setup. The 455 will make it haul, you will be very happy. Post some picture soon as we like to see new toys.

 

Welcome...I like the idea if the OE look 455 swap. Sounds like something I would do.

Keep us updated on the progress.

 

Welcome to the site.

 

You bought that car when it was still a baby didn't you? Looking forward to hearing more about your swap. I now lots of G body big block swaps have been done so there should be some good information out there to help you along. Doing it for an OE look though, don't think I have ever seen that done. Welcome to CO.

 

Welcome, this site is like the holy grail for olds enthusiasts.
