!969 I lost my Car to Hurricane Camille, I ordered a new sleeper, a 1970 Cutlass Supreme, 455 with W30 package 365 horsepower (but most suspected the factory specs were way wrong, Much more than that) ), 550 foot pounds of torque, It had an automatic, posi rear end with tall 2.73 gears. Red line F70 14 tires on factory rally sport wheels. So easy to smoke those small good year tires. Stomping the throttle hard any where below 90 produced massive wheel spin. What a sleeper, Surprised many!

I used to do burnouts with an '68 Olds 98 with a 455, but I didn't use line lock like you seemed to use with the front wheels.
this looks like North East PA for some reason.
If your engine turns over slow like that when it's hot, you might like to consider a high torque starter motor. Maybe the battery is not up to snuff. The 455 is hard to crank when hot. At least the ones I had were.
They needed both, the largest battery possible AND the high torque starter motor.
@Lockemeister No I don't have line lock's on it. It is north east PA. lol. I put a posi rear in it with 390 gears now. I had the timing to far out thats why it started slow.
@mnauto455 I should have noticed that. After viewing again and listening closely I heard the slight spark knock upon cranking. Does the distributor vaccum advance retard the timing or advance the timing when you step on the gas and the vacuum drops. I used to have problems getting up hills, esp in NE PA if I ran too much centrifical advance. I tried lighter centrifigal advance springs. then I ended putting it al back to stock since I couldn't get up hills due to too much advance.
@17VINCE, My set up works great on the street, as far as intakes go , I like the dual plane intake for more mild engine's, but if you have headers and big exhaust the single plane intake will not hurt at all. the center divider on my dual plane intake was milled down, and my exhaust manifolds were extrude honed, I bought them off of a guy who took them off of his 10 second car, to put on single plane intake and headers, to get into the low nines. i know I'm long winded, sorry.
@BLACKOPSIII haha no apologies,i like the detail and need the detail u knw..i jus dont want to go too big on the intake and actually lose power..as of now all i have is the 268 cam and milled heads,im planning on puttin a new edelbrock 750 carb,3 inch exhaust with long tube headers and pypes mufflers, and maybe a torker intake not sure yet..but thanks for the info,much appreciated..feel free to check out my vids on my cutlass SX..
Thanks for sharing, 3.90s the freeway must be fun. no one should be able to touch you at the stoplight drags. My C/S has a 455 with 268 comp cam, Edelbrock dual plane intake,dual exhaust manifolds, 2.5 Flowmaster full exhaust with X pipe, and highway gears(2.70 somethings). It is quick and fast as hell. are you sure your car is not a Supreme SX? I noticed the bumper cutouts.
@BLACKOPSIII Thanks. Yea the freeway is tuff with the 390s . No it is not an SX I put the 455 in it. the car was a 350 car. I got the bumper when I got the exhaust done.
@BLACKOPSIII that's a good set up on your 455,i was wanting to do the same thing to my SX except i want 3 inch pipes,how good does that set up work on your engine and what kind of intake do you think is best for 455,victor performer or torker series??..thanks
Nice car. I bought my '70 Cutlass Supreme a few weeks ago, I have a bit of work to do to even get it half way close to what your's looks and sounds like. Thanks for sharing!
sounds just like my car let me guess flowmaster super 44 mufflers i think thay sound good from idle to 3500 then thay kinda go quiet not loud enough for me
@17VINCE I found a posi rear for the car. I had it rebulit and put 390 richmond gears in it. Now i got a lot of wheel hop. I put ajustable arms on it. Still has the hop.
I have put a posi in the car since this video was made. I had a real hard time finding one. but it is a12 bolt posi with 390 gears will be posting a new video soon.
it is flowmaster system. I am still tryin to find a posi rear for it but can not. I wanted to build my rear posi it is a 12 bolt o. My mechanic told me he it can not be done.
im sure it can be done,umm..try searching jegs or summit racing for posi rear end parts..i also heard theres a simple easy way to make the rear a posi,i have seen some people jus weld the spools in the rear end together,seeing as posi traction rear end is simple jus a straight axle..and thanks,i was wanting to put a flowmaster system on my olds which is really close to being finished..
idk if you just wanna keep everything oldsmobile, but all GM A and G bodys have compatible rear axles. plus you can find easy to modify posi rearends in z28 camaros, formulas, GM full size cars, Vans, and Trucks. thats what im doing on my skylark.
Thanks for the info. I found a posi rear out of a 70 442 it's a 12 bolt with 390 gears. When the weather gets better a will post a new video. I also added a w27 ram air hood to the car to.
when i was 12 i bought a 77 corvette it's total junk. when i was 15 i bought a 1970 cutlass s in great condition (considering its 40 years old) so i think i'll make the vette a drag car.
oh wow,i love it dude haha..nice ride,i got an olds 71 cutlass sx being rebuilt rite now..i'll be sure to post a vid soon..if im not mistaking,are those flowmasters youre running on that beast?..
mnauto455 do you still have the original TH350 transmission behind that torque monster? If so get a shift kit installed it will save your transmission from that 455's monster torque. 400ft lb is max torque for a stock Turbo 350. Your transmission will will last longer and save you from burning up that wear stock 3rd gear clutch that TH350's are known for. I've got a 70' also up on Youtube with a matching 350 Rocket 2.56 gears.
yes I do still have the original TH350 trans. I did rebuild it and put a shift kit in it. Thanks for the info. I checked out youer cutlass. Nice car sounds good.
nice car man, i have a 72. its going to be my daily driver, have to get a job to pay for gas though. would love to put a 455 in her but gas would be to high. love the car man
hell yeah i love the video man. i got a 1970 cutlass supreme convertable. its been sitting in my negibors barn ive been dieing to restore it. just dont have the time :/
