If it really is a 455 it'll move nicely, ask me how I know.

was wondering if you had seen that.

Olds motor, chevy body, buick wheels...no pontiac parts...geeze...what a slacker.

You're right. Needs a Pontiac steering wheel and some Cadillac seats!

The BOP th400 had to come from somewhere cause they weren't born in mid-'80s B-bodies. Just trying to help the guys case but if you ask me it's a 455 air housing lid on a 307 motor and I say that because there are no casting numbers shown in the add.

Yes, I took the asshole role, as usual if you ask Aaron, somebody has to and I apparently do it so well.

I was just thinkng the same thing.. I had heard of 307 in the chevy, and not the chevy 307, I mean the real bop.

but 455.. that is odd.

Well, I know for a fact that GM put 307 Olds motors in the B-body wagons in the mid & late '80s. The ONE picture of the engine compartment was awful sanitary to be a swap or maybe I'm a hack when I swap motors. Point is the cruise control vacuum pod is still attached, all original ac is still there, the original style exhaust heat riser is still in place....My cc vacuum pod was dysfunctional and five years newer, doing that swap and keeping a heat riser would have to include factory iron manifolds and crossover pipe. I explain all that in my Turd(le) thread. Oldsmobile stopped making the 455 for cars in 1976 and for marine use in 1978, so if that car has a 455, it is at least seven years older than the car and again IF it does have a 455, someone went through a LOT of work to fool the smog police. IF I had to get mine past the smog police I guess I'd have done the same thing except my computer was DOA.
