1966 Oldsmobile Starfire moved from storage after 25 yrs #1
I built this engine 31 years ago, 425 Olds high-compression V8 425; I installed Toronado heads, milled .030 bringing the compression to 11:1; 292 degree Iskenderian camshaft at .050 lifter height; 800 cfm Holley carb, dual line, double pumper; mechanical secondaries; I permanently wired the twin stall speed torque converter at the 3000 rpm setting; recurved distributor; dual round thrush mufflers (no packing); with it's 2.9 rear end, it will run 140-150 mph top end; I had turned the engine a couple times of year by hand, to make sure it had not set up; but the building was getting in bad condition, it had sat on blocks for 25 years; it was great to hear the old girl fire up again, just craving the highway.

This car was even sitting under the ruff.
Maybe it is only for parts?
