Car looks great! nice job.My Brother has an Olds powered 79, he would love your car.

Why are you changing out the 403 for a 350?

Just some useless trivia I learned recently from Hemmings Muscle Machines,they had a write up about 79's recently.If you need to know if the car is Olds or Ponco powered without popping the hood.

The 403 Olds powered cars say 6.6 Litre on the shaker.With production at 5,683 units.
The Pontiac 400 powered cars say T/A 6.6 on the shaker.With production at 1,817.
