Hurst1979Olds's Build(t) Thread

[hurst1979olds]

Thanks guys. Glad to hear alot of people like my ride as well. Ya I couldve done just a regular 350 olds or a 455 olds, but Ive always been one to do things alittle different and be unique. I think I accomplished that with my engine. Now how about a little video of the engine running when I first built it. I got to build it at work after hours, since I didnt have a garage and such to do it in.

The diesel build is the smart build as well as very cool.

Thanks, I knew a guy in CT i bought alot of H/O stuff off of. His 79 h/o was the one used in all the advertizing for the car. Linda Vaughn did the pictures with it. It had t-tops, and came factory with AM/FM/CB. He just finished restoring it and came out beautiful....im very envious.

Well I went out and bought the March kit for my car. I've been looking at it and talking to the guys from March since before they designed it. I ordered it on Friday. Should have it wednesday and installed by next weekend. Will keep you guys posted but will look good when its done.

Well I finally got my serpentine put on. It took me longer then I expected. I had a little house troubles and I ended up redueing my laundry room and mud room with porcelin tile and had to paint and stuff. The wife said the car had to be put on hold until I finished. So heres the final product of the serpentine.

Looking like a beastly cutlass. I got mine as my first car about the same time. Such a fun car to work on. Keep the posts comn.

BEAUTIFUL engine there! I actually have one of the diesel blocks I should be pulling from one of my cars here in the next couple weeks if I get off my butt and start working on it. I have been considering selling it though you really are making me think about doing a conversion for it and finding a later 80's body car to put it in and build a seriously custom car. I have someone trying to convince me that I should build a twin turbo motor using the block and incorporate a modified fuel injection manifold to bring that up to date.

Thanks. The car has been on the back burner with everything else I got going on. But come spring I will at least be driving it again. and once the camaro is finished and I paint it then I will paint the cutlass back to original.
