I have been thinking about the subject more and more. I have a feeling once the Olds is on the road it will be entered in a few autox races.

I was actually just thinking of doing the Plasti Dip coating for my bumpers. I have seen several truck bumpers coated in the stuff and it seems to be holding up great for those guys. There is a guy on the GRM forum that Plasti dipped an entire Mazda FD :shock:

So far today did a little rust removal and started prepping the rear axel I am swapping in. Aside from that been cleaning up the shop more getting ready for the engine swap and for moving the Invicta in.

Cleaned up the new rear axel that will be going in. Gave it a quick paint job and installed the Jegs diff cover that supports the bearing main caps. Also started to clean up the minimal rust in the passenger side floor.

Did some organization in the shop to get ready for the engine swap. The boys were helping.

Worked on the 403 clean up a bit more today. Got the old cast iron intake of f!@% that thing is heavy. Set the Edelbrock on just for kicks. Soooo much lighter.

Hmmm any ideas on the header install? Should I put them on before dropping the engine in or after? I have heard it both ways.

Yeah though about both the cam and heads. Sadly I only have 350 smog heads available to me at the moment.

Go out and have fun worry about the fine tuning later on! Try and get some pics or video to share with us I would LOVE to see some more G Body racing stuff out there. I am hoping to run my Cutlass as some AutoX events once it is done just for fun. I actually thought about building one car...

Well the last couple days I have been working on scraping all the crap off my 403 to get it ready to go in the Cutlass. While I have this thing out and it is easy to get to everything is there anything I should look at doing? Not looking to go extreme with this engine, it will basically just...

I have a smaller bolt on one that is going on my car. Again also for that 80s bolt on look and also this will be going on one of my aluminum hoods so I could not get a steel one to weld obviously. I will cut out the skin und the scope then put a screen in to help keep crap from being sucked into...

I havn't. Someone told me to try it but I couldn't find any in town out here. For automotive in town we have a Walmart, a Baxters and a NAPA. None of them are that well stocked :lol:

Well I worked on the 403 a bit more today. Bought a new jug of Simple Green concentrate and mixed up a batch that was on the strong side. About an hour and a half later I got ONE side looking fairly decent. When I started you could hardly make out the "403" on the side of the block. Yes the...

More cleaning of the 403 today you can actually read where it says 403 now

Oh yeah I guess I forgot to mention that part. Got married back in May to my girlfriend of 4 years. She is the one I have posted picture of helping pull weeds out of the engine bay of my first Olds. Now I am trying to figure out what I want to do with the DX block. Got a guy locally that...
