Pretty sure Dan isn't going to post any times till he gets the car sorted out. Even then, after be attacked and ridiculed here, we won't be the first ones he tells☹.

How long does it take to sort a car out when you live in Florida? Some of the best conditions in drag racing as well. I would think after paying Bill to build the engine and having it installed in the car some time ago its probably been down the drag strip, seeing its obvious Dan likes to bracket race. If it runs hard I will be the first to congratulate him to be sure. And besides that I'am very curious as to how it runs. I just know over the years I've done a few drag tests, the engine builds were depicted on forums and put in the cars and run at the track, and the data was presented, and it didn't takes years even though I run a VERY demanding business.

Did you ever think, unlike you, that people have a life other than drag racing?
He doesn’t owe anybody an explanation about anything, especially someone as critical as you. If you really want to know how it does then shut up and build the same combo yourself.
Let it go and move on.

One sure fire way is to except, show up and race Dan as he challenged you Vortec Pro. Aren't you moving to Texas which isn't that far from Florida. I will have to drive 4 hours to race my 70S which I probably will once done.

I don’t know of ANY pump gas small blocks that have made near this power. I cannot thank Mark enough for the crank, Bill for taking this project on, and to all the 403 haters, you can now eat your own words. This is a 496 killer plain and simple. I can’t say right now, but after texts, fb messages, phone calls after it was dynoed, some things are in the works. If you are building a sb, by a crank from Mark. Thanks for the compliments!
Great job on this build, wow at the numbers, hope it drives as well as it dynos!

Its good to hear from you Dr, obviously your still alive and kicking. Here's 3 possible scenarios when it comes to your 403 Olds build and drag test:

1. The car has been to the track and its so slow you don't want to talk about it...........................
2. You broke the engine?
3. You had BT build you a engine several states away, you installed it, drove it, and you decided you were too busy to finish the project and it just sits?

Personally I look forward to the day you post the performance of the 403 build, do I ever think that day will come, not so much, but I keep optimistic. BTW your not busier than me, not even close. On another note it seems you met my friend Mark Yacavonne over on the OD forum a while back. Stay healthy and keep tearing them up at the bracket races!


Political strength[edit]

Thousand Oaks and neighboring Simi Valley have traditionally been strongholds for the Republican Party in Ventura County.[117][118][119][120] As of 2007, Thousand Oaks had three registered Republican voters for every two Democrats.[121] 45.8% of voters were registered Republicans in 2008.[122] By 2018, the party registrations for Thousand Oaks residents were 38% Republican, 33.7% Democrat, and 25% no preference, with the remainder split among other parties.[123]

Thousand Oaks is located adjacent to Simi Valley, often nicknamed "Reagan Country",[124][125] where the former president is buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library near the Thousand Oaks border. The former president hired Bruce Oxford to work at his Agoura Hills ranch in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s, Oxford had established the Thousand Oaks Meat Locker on today's Thousand Oaks Boulevard, a place where Reagan often returned to. During Reagan's run for governor of California in 1966, he stayed at the Meat Locker while awaiting the election returns. During the 1980 presidential election, Reagan returned to Thousand Oaks Boulevard (then Ventura Boulevard).[126]

Presidents George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan have held speeches at California Lutheran University,[127][128] while President George W. Bush visited Newbury Park in 2003.[129][130] The Republican Club at California Lutheran University has gained national prominence by having "the highest ratio of club members to number of students of any College Republican club in California."[131]

Why do you continue to harp on and pester someone just because they don’t give YOU what YOU want?

Another words you are a **** head.

No one wants to deal with you. You chase away people that are actually part of the Oldsmobile community. You antagonize. Didn't matter if they are the best or worst. I see them at Oldsmobile events. I know them from the community. You add nothing you are worthless.

Hi Dan!
Great to see this 403 make some truly beastly power.
Makes me want to do another 403. Maybe a bit milder than this though? I have most parts except Pistons/pins/rings and Heads. I have three, 330 cranks, but the crank Mark had made seems way better than a 50 year old 330 crank. I need some new E-Brock heads as well.
I just built a Lycoming O-360. I may get a chance to fly it down to see ya' someday. I'd post some pics, but I don't want to derail the thread!
Give me a call if you have a chance someday...

#1. I’m busier than you, I guarantee it.
#2. I decided to have Bill build my design because he was willing to modify his big block main support to accommodate what I wanted.
#3. between having 10 cars, 3 friends pass away, moving, new job, and building transmissions by myself at a record pace for people you have no idea what’s going on in my life not will you ever.
you are a complete fuckstick. I’m not going to take it to the track just because you want numbers. I really don’t care what you are waiting on. I mean you could copy my build and build you’re own then you’ll know....right?
let me ask you something....are you a ******* Democrat? Because you sure act like one.
bring you’re whatever car you want to the east coast and let’s go straight up. I have ZERO passes on the car but I bet I’ll skullfuck whatever you bring...

"are you a ******* Democrat?"

Nope


"I have ZERO passes on the car but I bet I’ll skullfuck whatever you bring..."


Again.......that will never happen for you. You might have a chance against my NA 327 shop truck, but thats debateable.



"I’m not going to take it to the track just because you want numbers."


I'd have no problem reporting on what my new engine combination runs, infact I will report on it when the tracks open. If the 480 inch Olds was to show dyno HP or close to dyno HP @ a known verified weight down in the ridiculously good conditions Florida has to offer this time of year, you can be sure I'd be the first to congratulate you!

You know it has gone too far when Copper gets pissed🙁. Just ignore Dan's trophies and his Olds powered Olds Cutlass that ran 9's let a lone his 2004R transmissions HE HAS BUILT that have survived those times. I still don't get why Dan is being attacked🤷‍♂️. We have seen his trophies and time slips on the old ROP which unfortunately crashed.

I'am not chased out of any forums, do you remember what these guys posted on this forum, if you really think Dans got anything for my 8 and 9 sec NA small tire street cars you are insane. I simply want to see what Dan can get the car to run, its that simple. I 'am married and theres no problems believe me, my wife is worse than me LOL. Actually I have been around Olds racers that are fast:

1. George Thompson. G/SA. 10.90s NHRA stock
2. Danny Lattimore. D/SA. 10.40s NHRA stock
3. Brandon Bakie F/SA. 10.80s. NHRA stock

All at full weight 9 inch tire Q-Jet

His trophies are bracket racing trophies, which is fine, but I have plenty myself. I believe his 66 Olds was run on Nitrous, I could be wrong but based on what his G bodies do run I believe it was run on a power adder. You can say he's being attacked but just remember whats been posted. I would never run a 200 trans in a NA application ever, but my stuff is fast. I see no problem running a 200 in a 10 sec bracket car. Keep in mind I've seen nothing...................but 11 sec G bodies. Its very well documented on this internet with time slips and videos of what my stuff runs.

He’s never run a power adder of any sort. As is typical with you, you’re talking out of your ***.

I have never ran any power adders on any of my stuff EVER. my 66 F 85 ran 9.60`s leaving from a dead idle 373 rear gear and I drove it to work several times. NO electronics, trans brake-NOTHING. When you get done with class racing, maybe you can graduate up to bracket racing. and if you think it`s easier than class racing....show up at the world footbrake challenge in Bristol TN in July. I bet you can`t get past 2 rounds. Everything I ever ever raced, I`ve won in. I just went through all my trophies moving. 296 total wins. 98 with 1 car. Ya know what.....you wouldn`t make it past 2nd round at a normal saturday night bracket race. I like class racing.....atleast until I found out you do it.
