Default 79 Olds Cutlass wagon

Needed a new shop truck so I picked up this one for $300. It had grille damage from a whoops in the snow, had a worn front suspension a Th250 that slipped once in a while and a bad running 305 Chevy with 35,000 on a rebuild. Ran a 22.10 @ 61 on a G-tech as I bought it. Fixed the timing and got the secondaries to open, ran 18.79 @ 74 at the track, 4500 ft altitude. Added the following...

.030 2 bolt 400 SB Chevy
Stock bottom with ARP bolts
rebuilt factory junk heads
XE268 cam
Air Gap dual Plane
Modified Q-jet
Hedman intermediate Headers
3" single exh. w/40 series Flowmaster

With a stock TH350 and 2.41 7.5 rear it runs 15.70's @ 87, 4500ft. altitude. I hit 2nd gear @ 5000 just before the 1/8 lights, go through the lights on the long end at 4200 in 2nd. Whiplash blistering 2.45 60' time. Hmmmmm...

Recent additions-
new front suspension parts and 3" drop

Coming soon-
700R4 and 3.73's out back
full length headers
AFR 195 heads
13's at the track and will tow my race car there too.
