72 Cutlass LSX

[Mr Nick]

I'm a pretty strict Olds fan, and I hate seeing Chevy engines swapped into Oldsmobile's. And I consider the LS engines to be a Chevy design. (not looking to start a cyber fight)



I must say though, this particular "LSX-455" has me more then just a bit intrigued. Excellent work, I look forward to more progress.

I'm an Olds (and Pontiac) fan too. I've even built several Olds engines this year alone. The owner of this project is a die hard Olds fan with several other perfectly restored examples.
This LS7 has the same bore and stroke as the Olds 455. (4.125 bore x 4.25 stroke) In this car he wants to drive it everyday in the summer with all the modern conveniences (efi) and gas mileage that the latest GM engine design provides. We're also going to contruct a stock Olds looking air cleaner to make to the ram air hood.
Thanks
PS
Ask me about the Twin Turbo 326 Pontiac engine 65 LeMans project.
