How about some pics? No one is going to bite on this unless you have pictures. Just an FYI.

No one who knows anything about Oldsmobiles believes in the "SMW 403" myth.

Go away.

That casting number only proves it a 403. Any pics to prove the solid main webs? Let me guess didn’t get pics of that because you don’t want to take it apart, it’s in a car, or you don’t have access to it.

the rest of the block codes always have 4B not 4A and the 4A is the SMW the 4B is the normal ones

I moved your post to its own thread, no need to open old threads or post in multiple places. Will wait for more pictures, but highly doubt it. There was a reward posted years ago by the late Chris Whitt, for a very large sum of money. It was on here, ebay, and probably other places. I'm sure if one existed it would have shown up long before you found what you think is one.

wasn't there only 2500 made give or take right well that being said just think about it that's only 2500 people that had it right ? and most the people back in the day that does have one normally 60 percent of older people don't even use computers or anything like that and could say probably half those 2500 didn't even know it was a SMW even is or if It was advertised that it was in it right so that makes the numbers or people actually haven them and knew what they had or seen that large sum of money reward ur talking about right so logically speaking here would make it where a lot of the people never seen or herd of them maken it the myth js and how is people gonna know its real threw pics if no ones seen real pics right so the only way to prove that its a real one is to get the bore being measured from below I guess ??

There were none made, no documents, no info and no proof. Don't want to disrespect your dad, again you don't have one. How about a picture at this angle?

Some call them webs. Check the Pontiac forums too. They were used in a lot of the trans am cars. Someone will want it.
I have no idea of value. $150-$350?

Game over, thanks for playing. It's still a decent engine if you want to use it for something.

Look at the picture I have attached. The openings that the arrows are pointing to are the "windows"

You guys are just letting him string you along. He's obviously taking the pics at a bad angle and with a Nextel phone or something.

Make a engine package with big HP making bores and small main housing bores-then put windows in the block so when you do make power with it the main bulk heads self destruct. Unbelievable
