I think my compression is 9 to 1 or a little more. Stock 3.42 rear end (if it's the original) and stock 200r4 transmission. Shifts pretty hard. Runs good. Just not the beast they told me that it is. 1406 carb.
Selling Olds 403 build - feelers for price?

The stock 4A heads suck on the exhaust side, that Edelbrock is junk and way too small, either a Quickfuel 750 or 750 Street Demon carb or the Sniper or Fitech system. What cam?
Not sure about the cam. All I know is it's a mild cam. And guy said it's a lower rpm cam?
A bone stock 403 can rip the tires all day long even with Granny gearing. A built 403 along with better gearing should be able to rip em all day and through the night. If these things aren't happening, there is an issue or issues.
I had a mild Olds 350 built by Rocket Racing years ago and they skimped on the build so it wasn't what it was supposed to be ( even though I payed for it... ). In other words, your builder could be lying about what was done to it or they royally f@cked up somewhere.
To answer the OP's question, in my opinion you would be lucky to get $1500. $1000-1200 would be more likely. I dumped my Rocket Racing 350 ( btw, FU John Stolpa ) for practically nothing. Other than some jerkoff on this forum who yanked my chain about it, nobody really wanted it for a realistic price so I gave it to an Olds friend of mine for super cheap.

I was just told one of the rear axles is bent. Not sure if that would play a part...But that's what I figured. Should be somewhat of a beast. After buying it from from a dealership, I got the title with the previous owners name. Talked to the guy for a while and told me all about the car. Found out that he had a 750 carb on it before trading it in. So dealership did a switch a roo.....so in your opinion, if these parts were in fact put in ( builder is reputable place. Builds race cars. Hekt power products.) This car should be hauling *ss?
Yeah something seems off, before I bought my 403, I rode in the car it was in, stock it was impressive, but after a rebuild with compression, and head work, it’s a beast.
I have torn down freshly built engines before from shops only to find parts were not installed or services were not performed yet it was still listed as a charge so it wouldn't surprise me that a shop would skip things figuring the customer will probably never notice especially if you appear to be a novice.
