Wolfbane Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 That looks like a 1983 Hurst Olds sans badging (I owned a 1984). It must have had the heck modified out of it. Including the 307 Old Engine that it came with from the factory. The 1984 version was the first GM made car that came with a computer in it. Quadrajet and CCC (Computer Command Control).

My father had an 84 V8 Cutlass as well, real POS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 My guess is Chevy S 10 4WD body swap as it would be easiest but who knows, you could swap just about anything if determined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I love that sound of the turbo spooling up and down. One bad *** car. Sure it would run the hell out of a real Grand nationalSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wonderful smell of burning rubber and that lovely ground pounding noise and the sheer unbridled demonstration of testosterone would be enough for me. The bugging out of eyeballs would be another plus. Asuming one had the money to do this as that guy has a lot tied up in that monster. Better than Wilson speakers or fru fru B&W's for true to life live sound kind of like what Klipsch is known for.

I would have pulled the Olds 307 V8 that came with the car had I kept it and shoe-horned in a modified Olds 455. Forget the four whell drive thing, it would probably be not cost effective or help performance. I doubt the guy above is doing much mud and snow driving.

jason str Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The Oldsmobile 455 was never a good start for a high performance build, maybe if you were looking for 500 horsepower or so but there are better choices such as Pontiac or Chevrolet. I built a few Olds 455's, it made a better low to midrange RPM torque engine to move the lead sleds of the time but under high RPM's they would come apart and parts were costly compared to others. If you did want the Olds powertrain i recommend replacing the heavy cast iron pistons with aluminum first to lighten the rotating assembly and use a camshaft that peaks under 5000 RPM or spend big bucks on a complete bulletproof rotating assembly.
