home-made 425 Oldsmobile powered death trap
Don't laugh to hard at this. My buddy's dad build himself a rail job (death trap) race car, powered by a Oldsmobile 425 big block. Once again I don't have all the info but it does have an Edelbrock intake and a Holley carb. The Exhaust is running out open manifolds. Also has airbag suspension in the back and some fat Mickey T's. Check out the HUGE steering wheel, it's bigger than the actual wheels. Gets crazy going down the road. Thankfully he never actually took it to the track. It became doner parts for other projects. Have fun!!!!
1966 Oldsmobile Starfire moved from storage after 25 yrs #1
I built this engine 31 years ago, 425 Olds high-compression V8 425; I installed Toronado heads, milled .030 bringing the compression to 11:1; 292 degree Iskenderian camshaft at .050 lifter height; 800 cfm Holley carb, dual line, double pumper; mechanical secondaries; I permanently wired the twin stall speed torque converter at the 3000 rpm setting; recurved distributor; dual round thrush mufflers (no packing); with it's 2.9 rear end, it will run 140-150 mph top end; I had turned the engine a couple times of year by hand, to make sure it had not set up; but the building was getting in bad condition, it had sat on blocks for 25 years; it was great to hear the old girl fire up again, just craving the highway.

1964 to 1969 Oldsmobile Ads : CUTLASS 442 W30 W31 TORONADO 98 88 STARFIRE JETSTAR VISTA CRUISER
Limited collection of 1964 to 1969 Oldsmobile Ads from magazines and brochures of the time. I can now see we left out at least three ads or pictures: a 66 442, an illustrated 69 Hurst Olds and a 69 Delta 88; however, time is limited here and we would have probably had to cut elsewhere. Also see the 70-72 Olds ads video at the vistacruiser67 channel.
