My Oldsmobile

Attached is a photo of my Drop top. It is currently undergoing a ground up restoration. Since it all numbers matching going with as much NOS as possible, however am upgrading the original 455 to about 500hp and 600 lbs torque, while keeping the block, heads and intake stock. Will have to change the carb, but will keep it for future use.&1 Beast II.jpg

Thanks

Welcome. Nice car.

Not to pee in your corn flakes but you aren't making 500 hp and 600 ft lbs of TQ with stock iron heads and a stock iron intake.
