1970 Olds 442 w/ ZF Corvette 6 Speed Manual!

This video spotlights a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 with a 455 Olds V8, and a monsterous ZF 6 speed manual transmission and 3.90:1 positraction axle owned by one of my friends! It's a wonderful car to drive, and what makes this car more interesting is that the transmission was installed over 30 years ago, has over 100,000 miles on it, and has not been removed since! The engine was rebuilt in 1997 by Dick Miller Racing and as you'll see, is still going strong. It's a great example of what can be done with great quality parts and workmanship, and that these cars can be driven.

Sweet car! I had a 1970 442 W30 4 speed car and it could sure use those 2 OD gears. Thumb up here. 😎

This is really some amazing street rodding! Love the setup! Had a 71 442 455 t400 car with some Mondello work done to it. I can say exhaust really does amazing things on a wamed over Olds 455. Not sure which pistons he's running and which heads. I had similar fuel system with 1/2" lines and Blue pump back then. The part that amazed me the most was the modifications done to the bell housing to make that fit an BOP pattern. Pretty clever back then! Nicely done sir!

[@CobblerBob]

Yes! And I THINK he's got the TRW forged pistons.

Great car I own a code 14 platinum 70 olds. Just an FYI the hood is a w25 option not w30 . W30 was a complete performance option consisting of red wells special distributor special qjet and a few others I can't think of rite now. But great looking car

Thanks for watching and commenting. The video was not scripted and there are several errors. Sorry for that.
