Hey guys and gals. I just wanted to introduce myself and thank all the Olds Gurus as I start my journey to get a better understanding of my early 70's model Oldsmobile 455.

Currently I am working on a new project truck. It has an Olds 455 as the power plant. While I would prefer to have the original motor with the truck, I am sort of budget tied and stuck with what I have. With that being said, I am looking forward to getting an Oldsmobile Cutlass to drop this motor into.

My purpose for joining the forum is to get advice and details for the Olds 455. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge that this site will provide.

 

Welcome to our site!! You'll get plenty of advice on here, lol!!

 

Welcome.
Maybe the dude here that wants to put a Chebby motor in his Olds and you can make a deal if he needs a truck??
Nothing wrong with an Olds motor in a Chebby, it's the other way around you have problems with in these here parts.

Cutlassgal/Sandy is the mother of all fuse and underhood light wiring gurus.

 

I have seriously thought about something like that. I guess that only time will tell exactly what I will do. I just the truck a few days ago so I am still in a fact finding and exploratory mode. Next week may bring on a new feeling altogether. Will keep you all posted on the progress. Pics to come soon.

 

Sir, I formally convey my presence.

 

Welcome to CO.

 

...and I informally present my conveyance....Sir.
Welcome to CO.

 

Welcome aboard

I have no idea what the Col is talk'in bout, BUT if you have a fuse problem Sandy is your lady.

 

... a 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 with a four-hundred and fifty-five cubic inch engine, radial tires and and bucket seats.

 

That's a nice conveyance. No more fried out Kombi 4u I see.

 

Correct...I've owned 3 including 2 split screens which I wish I still had. One was a windowless panelvan and would be worth a motza!
