Then i realized i was just watching a video from my living room and not actually in the car with them. and then i chuckled and laughed at myself.. ...then i thought... Wait...

Now that I have some money and a little more know how I wanted to get him one as close to the one he had as possible. I didnt have the chance to, but the statement you made that you told him you'd do that for him with this car immediately put a smile on my face. Good stuff.

I mean, this car has the potential to be one badass cruiser. If you wanna swap V8s, a 403 Olds would bolt right in. It's already an extra 53 cubic inches. You already have an intake, exhaust, headers, and cam for it. The 350 heads with larger valves and maybe a little bit of porting would give it some good compression and breathing. A 2004R trans for some easy BOP compatible mechanical overdrive and something like 3.42 posi in the back with a 403 would make for one hell of a car.

If you are going to swap motors might as well just get a 455 instead of a 403. The 403 is a siamese fused small block that is not built as well for higher RPM's like the 455.
@dinos0429
@dinos0429 9 ай бұрын
Yeah, but this wouldn't be a super high RPM car anyways, it'd be a fun, reliable street car. A 403 Olds can be bought running for like 200 bucks. They're cheap and plentiful. Meanwhile, one of Kevin's last times obtaining a 455 Olds involved gutting an RV. The 455 also has a taller deck height, and would require new headers, new intake, pushrods, etc.. Why not just go with the cheaper, easier option and just bolt on another 53 cubic inches?

This brings back so many memories! My very first car was a '77 Cutlass S with that same body and long roofline with the short trunk lid. The biggest difference in appearance is that mine didn't have that beveled front clip, and was not 4-4-2 badged. It had the horrible 260 ci V8 that was a total dog. It finally gave up the ghost around 90k miles, so we dropped a junkyard '72 Rocket 350 into it. That car was a one-wheel--peel monster, and really moved stoplight to stoplight with the short gear ratio intended for the 260 dog. Topped out around 80 mph though. :)

For some odd reason, in my small town in GA, in the 1970s, Oldsmobile seemed to be everywhere. Friend had a real 70 pace car. Another had a 71 W-30 455 hard top, both of these had the Hurst Dual gate shifter. Knew a guy who had a 74 Hurst Olds. And my senior year, 81, there were 2 of these 76s owned by classmates. One with the 455, special order, in black with gold accents and another in the white with red accents with the rocket 350. My girlfriend drove a 77 black Cutlas Supreme, black interior and T tops. 350 rocket. These later cars were not high performance, but rode very well. Love to have a 76 442. Would bring back a lot of memories. I had a Gold 73 Riviera, GS, Stage1.

Man, I love watching you blokes on road trips in an old car! Looking forward to seeing the Impala one next week, although I think that (sadly) the last 15 mins of THIS week's video is a spoiler alert as to how the Impala video ends... Love the sound of that cam, mate. She's got just the right lope for idling along in traffic, bringing siles to people's faces too. By the way - did your fuel economy get better or worse with the eighth plug lead connected again? They don't have Summit Racing stores down here in New Zealand, but I wish they did! I could spend a whole day there looking things over and a whole other mortgage getting stuff to use "on a project some day". Dangerous places for blokes like us. Is there a government health warning on the door as you go into the place? "Warning: Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to the contents of this shop may empty your bank account". In my case, I'd probably end up talking a lot higher too.... All the best and thanks for the laughs!

Q- Why were they called a "442"? A- There's a 4 speed trans, a 4 barrel carb, and a (2)dual exhaust. 🤔 A little FYI 👍 But everyone probably already knew that 👌 🤣

Just goes to show you can always depend on an Oldsmobile to last to the end of time. Truly some of the toughest metal to come outa Detroit.

So excited for this episode. I had a 76 442 in about 1983-4 brown and gold. Wish I had found a way to hang onto it. Never see them anymore.

Hey Kevin I just got to say watching your videos is one of the few Delights that I get out of my day today above any else right now. As I am currently dealing with eviction as well as having all of my own tools stolen out of my garage and so now I can't even do the work to my own Vehicles so. Hopefully you don't have to deal with anything like this because I can tell you firsthand it sucks. Like I said though, you brought joy into the darkness that I've had over the last couple of months. And I thank you for that

Had to chuckle watching this. Not at the video, but the idea of these videos. Taking old cars and seeing if they will survive a road trip. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, that was life for my family…lol. My dad was always bringing home old cars…’73 Granville, ‘74 T-Bird, ‘75 el Dorado, ‘78 T-Bird. Every trip we took was an adventure by necessity, as these cars were always breaking down. Starters going out, mufflers falling off, overheating…we just never knew. I think it wasn’t until about 1983 before we had a reliable car. For reference, I was 12 at that point. I can chuckle now, but hated going anywhere as a kid. Too much time on the side of the road and old gas stations.

Spray the whole underneath with burnt motor oil and that will stop the rusting and keep it from rushing any further. I live on the Chesapeake bay on the lower eastern shore and cars rust out quickly but if you do this it truly works.

Drill 1/8” holes in those primary butterflies and readjust idle. Use Verylube to free piston rings while engine out and leave in for 300 miles.
