Well as i posted a few days ago I am restoring a 1967 olds delmont 88 with a 425 v8.
Well the engine is completely locked up so its going to be rebuilt, slowly. In the mean time I'm swapping the engine with a make due for the time being.
the engine is a 400 that came out of a 1977 olds toronado, only costed me 300 dollars with an almost brand new quadrajet 4 barrel carborator. Here's a few pic's I'll post some more when the engines totally swapped.

The 400's are very sought after and you'll pay decent money for one. They only made them from 65-69? and almost all of them were in 442's. I think...
your right, i didnt really look into it much. thanks for clearing that up.
Awe, your car piddled in the driveway! Bad car! BAD CAR! YOU DO THAT IN THE PAN!
