Nice 442. Pretty cool that you tackled the paint job yourself. Is it as hard as it's made out to be? Keep up the good work on your Oldsmobile. Sign my g-book. Thanks!

nice ride. i just saw your post on oldspower.com and had to check out your link. it sounds like our rides are very similar, except for the years. ive also got a 350 with headers, mild cam by lunati .472/.496, 214/224, 280/290. and a edelbrock performer 600cfm carb, performer intake. did a mild port job on my#6 heads, grinding the bumps and cleaning around the valves and guides. havent taken it to the strip yet though. even reduced weight to around 3400lbs also. what kinda gears you running in the back? is 280 hp an estimation? i have a dyno sheet from a program if you want to know more about your power at all rpms considering we have almost the same engine setup. check out my ride sometime.
