Oldstech Build thread... Oldsmobile V8 Power

[OldsTech]

Well, I think it is time for a update. Last week I was goin to go to build the 403. So I took my heads to the machine shop to be inspected. Well, they need to be completely rebuilt has i thought which is goin to cost around $1200 (this is including performance mod too). So today I decided to tear my E heads down for the 455. And they are alot better then the 403 heads but are goin to need the same amount of work. So im not goin to spend 1200 dollars on some cast iron heads when Edelbrock are 1,800 dollars shipped. So Im goin to save my pennies and go that route.

So Im just goin to rebuild the smog 455. It will suck, but it will be alot better then the diesel. Im goin to install all the parts I have got right now. But the heads suck so bad that will be the road block. So hopefully when i get back from South America I will have some pics of the progress.

Very nice man! Have fun at S. America man! Sounds like it's going to be an awesome trip! Hopefully I will have enough research to make a move on my hopefully next project...

No one can know about it though...
