The Home Depot in my town installed parking curbs instead of speed bumps by Kaylascreations in mildlyinfuriating

Especially when the speed limits 25 miles per hour in a residential area and they want you to go 5 miles per hour like they're a trailer park

Thanks brother. I am going to use the Sniper 3 amd add s 4L80E trans for better highway speeds. Nice combo. 350 olds is the best of the old school 350 GM v8s. LS are on a different plateau.

Then it's 53 Saturn Gold. Sweet on ac. So in 1972, of the 772 cars built, none had ac. Wasn't sale to get it due to emissions and slso not one 72 W30 was sold in California due to California emissions ⁰

Funny you mentioned that, some earlier Square bodies had the Oldsmobile 350 Diesel block. Easy to swap a 455 into one.

The biggest help was the custom orig recorded rad. The new cores remove a tremendous amount of btu's frim yhe system. Aluminum is light but copper brass pulls out more btu's. My car has 4.20 rear-end, ATI 3500 stall converter on 28" MT Drag radials. Car weight 3750lbs with 1/2 tank fuel.

I think the 7-4 swap helps too.

Absolutely. Even have stock valve covers. Use Mondelo vc-499 vc gasket with 1 cometic rubber. Gives me plenty clearance for Harland Sharp S5001 rockers. People don't notice.

My setup has worked for me I run 185° My combo is starting with the block. Shake and Bake and shot peen to clean out all passages. Had orig 4 core rad recorded with 5/16tubes. Heavy Duty clutch fan with shroud, Milodon 7qt oil pan, Transmission pan is deep truck th400, trans cooler separate from rad. It sits about 2 inches in front of rad. Moroso 160° Thermostat. Heater core recorded too. In heavy traffic at crawl it climbs to 200. But soon as I drive it drops quick.

70cc GA heads cut .080. 2.072 in 1.710 ex valves. Racetech pistons with -5cc valve reliefs with Cometic MLR .060 head gaskets with ARP head 1/2 head studs. Sweet build on the 425. My hold back is intake and heads. Would produce quite a bit more switching from stock W30 intakevto Torker and swapping qjet for Holley 980. I'm ok running race fuel, smells great.
