This is my 81 been workin on for about 2 years. Baby steps still. Has a mild built 403 goin in 3.73 rear. It will be kind of like FEX3clones but on an extreme budget. Having a hell of a time with paint. Wanted satin black but just cant get it right. TH400 trans, had a 455 with juice in it for years but got sick of the header issues. I have a very special hood i fabricated for it that i think Oldsmobile guys will like will post that pic later.
