New Stuff:
Well I haven't updated this in a while. She's on the road with a 78 smog motor. It runs pretty good, runs mid 14s and gets about 16mpg, not to bad for 8.5:1 compression. Right now I'm focusing on rebuilding the suspension and getting her painted by the end of the winter
Well anyways heres my 1972 Oldsmobile 442. I got her about 2 and a half years ago. She has a Olds 350 rocket, TH350 tranny, and 3.73 posi 10 bolt rear end. I use her for every day use and shes a blast to drive. A little personal info, I'm 21 and it took me 6 months to save up for this car. I took my civil service test to become a police officer and I'm just waiting for calls for interviews. I'm going to be updating the pictures of my other cars soon too to keep in touch.
She has bucket seats and its almost in prefect interior except the front seat has a small half an inch rip in it and the back seat is starting to crack, I'm getting them recovered next winter.
Heres the engine before and after. Right now a 78 smog motor is in there while I build the original 350. Its a pretty good motor, I was able to knock off mid 14 ETs and still gets 16mpg. Not to bad for the stock junk heads and 8.5:1 compression. A Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. I don't know what cam is in there though. Other stuff is a 600cfm edelbrock carb, 1" plastic spacer, Accel dual point distributer, Accel Super coil, headers and a 2.5" dual exhaust with DynoMax Ultra Flo mufflers.
Below are the rest of the pics of my car. As you can see my car needs a paintjob, I'm going to get that done in early spring so I don't have to worry about snow or salt. I'm going to paint it black with white W-30 style stripes and use my new W-25 ram air hood too.
