Nice looking oldsmobile there. Personally, I would keep the rocket engine in it, but thats your choice. If your looking for performance parts, its usually a better idea to go through Mondello. As for bolting in the 425, you may want to map out your engine bay before you do any swapping. The BB Oldsmobiles were a few inches taller than the small blocks. As such, you may have clearance issues with the hood and even the shock towers. Also, your probably going to have to find a different transmission. Unless im mistaken, the Oldsmobiles from then used a different bellhousing pattern. Behind the 425, I would reccomend the T-400. You will find one behind any BB buick, olds or pontiac. BOP. Good luck, and enjoy that big block. Olds motors make killer torqueRight engine, Wrong Wheels
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
