You built a 425 Olds just like i've been dreaming it. How high do you rev it to get the power out of it? Did you have to clearance the block (w/the longer rods)?
Absolutely love those '70s colonnade coupes, from any GM division. Everything about those vehicles is cool. The thing about them, at the time, was teh smog regulations-choked engines. But drop some proper iron into the engine bay, and damn, you have a fantastic vehicle. Nice Olds, man!
I don't know, never dynoed it. Runs consistant 12.30's in the 1/4. No such thing as a 66 455. 68 was the first year for the 455 in Olds. 66 big block would either be a 400 or a 425. 425 can have a different lifter angle and lifter size which can become a real pain in the ass. Make sure you take the thing to an Olds expert or you for sure will be disappointed. Nothing similar to building a Chevy.
i found a 66 455 golden rocket and im paying him $400 for the motor, but it has been sitting in his garage for 14 years, but i plan on rebuilding it and im putting it in my 1978 Buick le sabre custom 2dr but what was your HP and TQ?
@guccamain Actually 2 of my neighbors love it. The neighbor to my East used to race at Cordova Dragway in the late 50's with an Olds so he especially appreciates it. My neighbor to my West says I don't start it often enough lol.
@fabiolas4 It's pretty much just for racing. Since this video was shot it has been converted to E85 and runs a solid 2 tenth's faster in the 1/4 since the conversion. Currently running 12.30's @ 109
I am building a 68 455 (F block, C heads, and N crank), and am really interested in the long rod 425 combo. Did it go together pretty easy?? And if you don't mind letting me know ,what arias pistons did you use or are they custom? From what Ive read you can use Pontiac 455 pistons with the 1.495 compression height. And also do you know what your static compression is? Thanks and hope to see more vids!
there is a stall converter in everycar ever made dummy they just very in size my 76 olds has a 2500 stock. My 69 has a 3500 on a turbo 400 with full manual shift u should see that bastard come out of the hole
NO BETTER FEELING A FRESH 455 OLDS. ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO WAS TO FEEL THAT POWER. AND AS SOON AS SOMEONE ON THE STREET LOOKED MY WAY I WOULD BURN TWO BLACK STRIPES UP THE STREET. SMOKE EVERY WERE "well their is one better feeling'
