Olds 455 Rocket????
OK GUYS I KNOW IM A BIT OF A PAIN INNA BUTTE...
BUT I JUST CAME ACROSS A 1972 OLDS DELTA 88 WITH A 455 ROCKET IN IT. AS I LOOKED THE 2DRHARDTOP OVER, I OPENED THE HOOD SITTING ON TOP OF THE BIG BLOCK IS A SINGLE BARREL CARB???? THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHY DOES THIS LOOK SO OUT OF PLACE AND IS THERE ANY REASON FOR IT..
THE WIFE WANTS ME TO PICK THIS BEAST UP FOR A ROD PROJECT FOR HER IT RUNS, IDLES REAL NICE PUT SOME RPM'S TO IT, THE CAR'S BODY JUST SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE LIKE IT WANT'S TO JUST MOVE....ANY IDEAS ON 455'S I HAVE HEARD OF THEM BUT IT'S THE FIRST ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH MY OWN EYES.. SHOULD I JUST BUY IT FOR THE RUNNING GEAR AND PUT IT INTO SOMTHING ELSE???? IT SEEMS STOCK EXCEPT FOR THE CARB..

KEEP IN MIND IM IN NORTHERN CANADA SO I GET ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF RODDING TIME!!!IT GETS COLD AND FAST AROUND HERE!!! HEHEHEHE:)WHEN I GO AND THE DEVIL WANTS HIS DUE!!!! I'M GONNA JUST SAY THIS
I'LL RACE YOU FOR IT !!!HEHE
