This is my 68 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. I've had the car since I was 15, and parts of the car since I was 13. I spent 5 years restoring the car with my dad. I worked at Burger King through high school, and got an engineering internship, halfway through college that helped finish it.
The car has a 350 Olds, bored to a 4.155" bore. It has hypereutectic Chevy 400 pistons, factory forged rods, and a factory nodular iron crankshaft. The total displacement comes out to 366 cid. It has big block 'B' cast cylinder heads port matched to a Performer RPM intake. The camshaft is a Crane Cams hydraulic flat tappet spec'd at 204/216 degrees duration @ .050, .456/.484" lift and a 110 degree lobe separation angle. There is a set of Comp Cams roller tip rockers, hardened pushrods, and set of stainless steel valves to cap off the valve train.
All of this is pushed through a rebuilt (by me) 200-4R and an 8.2" 10 bolt with a Richmond gear 3.73 ring and pinion, Eaton posi, and Moser 28 spline axles.
My dad and I did all of the paint and body work. Everything has been undercoated or painted. We did it all in our garage. The doors and fenders were hung using wire clothes hangers.
I can get 20 mpg on the highway. The car is a blast to drive.
Future plans include a set of Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, a roller cam, Kooks headers, tubular control arms for front and back, larger sway bars, bigger front discs, adding rear discs, and eventually a stereo. Right now the AM radio doesn't work...but the exhaust is music enough.
