Here is a picture from the weekend I got her home.

Welcome to the community!

Olds V8?

Did those even come with the [gasoline] Olds V8, or was that possibly originally a 5.7 DIESEL that was swapped out? I don't see any hydro-boost brakes so that's very interesting...

Oh my friend this poor girl is a hot mess lol,
Previous owners really had there way it.
Good eye tho yes it's had an olds wide block swapped in. I won't be keeping it, back to a SBC.
