Supercar Reunion #8

W30s Rock. One of the few factrory Blue printed Muscle car power plants. I for one, would love to see one at the reunion, running down the track.

The '69 H/O was very cool too. Hope it comes back to play as well.

It's an 80's resto that could stand to be redone, but it's presentable. Drivetrain is getting done currently, but I plan to repaint the stripes in black and the wheels argent to make it correct appearancewise.

Thanks for the support guys. Hope to be able to make the SCR. Perhaps Rusty would like to do battle with another Olds?

Guess I better throw something in the donation jar.

Nice Car!
I would enjoy seeing more of it at any scheduled shows you plan on attending this year.

W30's are some bad looking bastages, eh?

I hope to make the the BOP race at Da Grove on June 5 th, and the FAST race on June 17th, but that all depends on work.

It isn't a show car, but I do have fun with it.

Going in the rotisserie this winter if things work out.

All right, I'm not going to miss it this year. I bought plane tickets and a room at the Holiday Inn last night. (For all of you Washington board members, I got nonstop flights from Seattle and 3 nights at the Holiday Inn Collinsville for less than $500 total via Travelocity online! You guys are going to have to come up with other excuses now....) I just need to secure my place at the banquet and I'm all set.

I'm trying to decide if I need a rental car or not. I think I should be able to shuttle/cab/bum rides enough to get me through the weekend. Opinions welcomed (unless its "you seem like too much of an arrogant bastard to ride with any of us", just paraphrase that into "you might like the convenience of a rental car").

Hope to meet many of you in person, and see some great racing and great cars.

Ok guys, Darren twisted my arm hard enough, so I will be seeing all of you guys at SCR8 in September. Looking forward to it!

Shhh. It'll be a good laugh. I told him the dates were changed. He'll be showing up for the International Gem & Jewelry Show, Inc.

I'm going to TRY to get my '68 Olds looking presentable and running strong before SCR... I'd love to bring it along and play with the big dogs. Right now money and time is limited for me, so we'll see.

I've got a question for anyone who has had a fair amount of experience Olds big blocks. I've got my choice to either put together a '70 455 OR a '65 425 or the original '68 350. Which would be the better choice? I've been leaning toward the 425 ... but now I'm unsure. Anyone been there done that?

I have all 3 engines all requiring about the same amount of work to put them together.

What I want to end up with is a '68 Olds that looks like it rolled out of Motion Performance at one time or another

It'll be Day 2 to the hilt for sure. I will settle for nothing less!

JoeG.. you have any more pics of the Motion Oldsmobiles anywhere???? Or anyone else have any?

Belair62 · #9 03-10-2005, 01:49 AM

I hear the 425 is not the best choice...go with the 455....Olds guys can chime in but the 425 has a wierd bore and stroke or something...

JoeG · #10 03-10-2005, 02:19 AM

Pretty sure the stroke in the 425 is similar to the 400 --but obviously the bore is larger---Would be nice to do W-31 clone you could cam it to get good response with the turbo---You would have to do a little more tinkering with the 350 than the 455----Probably would get more Grunt for less money with the 455--
