who else put an Olds in their sled? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know I'm not the only one to put an Olds engine in the truck. Those of us that did it are the crazy ones....LOL

I may be the only person that's about to drop a 440 Magnum in one, this is actually the first time I've made mention of it here. I'm still working out some details.

Randy-

Do you mean 440 as in 440 mopar?!?!?!?!....I had one of those in my old GTX.....strong but too heavy for the amount of HP that I got.

I had a 455/400 combo from a 74 delta 88 in a 67 shortstep. I built the truck in '83, and regretably sold it in '87. It was ten years before I had another one..

Randy your ram horns are showing

*Randy70C-10* · 05-15-2005, 08:07 PM

Yep, 440 Mopar.

The guy that built the 6:71 blown 350 in my Model A is a pro at building 440's. He just finished one that puts out close to 500 horses! It's in a 73 Road Runner (not my favorite year to say the least) but it's bad!!

Yeah, but Randy, if you're still coming to the meet in June at Pocahontas State Park, whatcha gonna drive? I vote for the shortstep. Better get workin! I know that ZZ3 sounded pretty mean when you started it up!

Olds......yea , it ran like a MOFO! 455+ .030. Engal cam, torker, 800 dp, Hedman headers,back yard "bowl ported".....rubber smoke @ 100 mph (2 to 3 shift , on a 400 turbo @ 6800)....

BTW, the 350 Olds in my 71 Cutlass I used to have, I couldn't kill if I wanted too. I sold it with 225000 on the motor and it still had 50 lbs of oil pressure and still would catch 2nd gear all day long with a turbo 350 and 2 something gears. Also it didn't smoke at all, and as far as I know is still running today, too bad I coudn't say the same for the body being in as good shape.

I still have plans to come. The ZZ3 sounds even better, I've been tuning on it for a couple days now and I think it's getting close. I installed the new cab mounts this morning but I still have a long way to go.

In my complex I have: '76 C-20/350 Olds, '70 Chevelle/W-31 powered/W-27 rear, '70 El Camino/260 Olds V-8, and '88 Pontiac Safari/350 Olds. Most of them have BBCs slated to replace the Olds motors since I have passed up that phase of my life. It was fun while it lasted. Hot Rod
