If you can't find parts for a '91 454 you're out to lunch. But hey, I was 15 and knew it all too, so I get it. I wish I had all that lost knowledge back.

I remember when I was 15..... LolOriginally Posted by Frenchy
seriously, im getting all this crap, just because of my age! i swear! no one can accept that i want a swap that bolts in with little or no fab work, and that i have done HOURS of research on whats best for it. but im 15, so none of that matters, huh? whatever... i know enough people that will be able to help on the ods and ends, i will get the engine, put it in, run it on a buddy's dyno, and post the numbers here... and still get crap for not going with the 6.0L.
A four door Olds ninety eight? Keep us updated on what it sell for. I see it has no engine. What are they planning on putting back into it? What is it, a 71?
See my truck data in the "My Garage" section here... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/my-ga...tml#post191709
for get the sub, the olds needs the 8.1 lol!
5.3 2wd upgrades: Nelson tune, stainless lt's, magnaflow, e-fans, msd's, cai.
i would have to kill my self, the engine in that car was the best engine made by GM in the mid 60's, and was only made for 3 years, and only in 3 modles, it has really high nickle content in the block, so apperently its the stongest block ever made by GM, 420HP 425TQ and with a tiny carb, so we are throughing a simple tuned up quadrajet on in a few weeks, intresed to see how that turns out... and it was a test engine for caddilac, but still had way more nickle then the caddy ever had.for get the sub, the olds needs the 8.1 lol!

Building the truck GM never did..
i said i was sorry, and posted pics, and pics were one of the big things you wanted, and i would think saying sorry would make you not hate me... ok though....
LOL, it has an engine, i will post pics of it later (my brother is pestering me for the computer) it has the original engine in it rite now, the car is just on jack stands at the moment because we had to pull the entire cooling system out and re-do everything (we got home one nigh, and the radiator just about blew up... 325 degrees will do that) so that will be finished tomorrow after noon if we have time, i will post pics of it with the front end on the ground at its normal ride height...
its a 1965 olds 98 LS, its one of one- it has the "ultra high compresion" 425 super rocket with 420 hp (first year of that engine, custom order only) three speed hydromatic (custom order only- first year) and 10 bolt posi rear end (custom order only, and EXTREMELY rare) plus power windows, power seats, original AC, delux hubcaps, and a few other options... no to brag, im just saying what the car is, you know? its not bad for 2800, rite? lol. thats 2800 running... it was our daily driver for 6 months, and we had the coolest car on the block. oh yeah, not that it matters because we want to rebuild the engine anyways, but 65,000 original miles.
EDIT: here are pics of the engine, i just got done repainting it a week ago, so im really proud of it... unfortunitly there is over spray in these pics, but all of that has been cleaned (on the cars, and a couple hoses) also, behind one of the pullys is black in the pic, thats also fixed. it was all brown like 2 weeks ago, so its not bad for 12 hours of work and 30 bucks worth of engine paint. admittedly, at this point im not going for a a show car finish, but when im driving i will spend a lot of time in this, so all though its not my first car, im treating like it is (meaning, im not putting 10 grand in chrome on it, but i want it to look nice)... but yeah, this car is just a toy on the weekends, and something for me to tinker with after school on weekdays.
EDIT EDIT: ok, its not letting me post pics at the moment, i will try in an hour or two. but i got to go for now...

here is the engine... we plan to rebuild it soon, 600HP is the goal, we could get close to it, just by throughing a big carb on though...
this pic was taken 80% of the way through, so all the over spray has been fixed, and everything touched up and yes, the fire wall is next. lol
