Sorry the pics aren't that good, but people wanted to see my sleeper:



And what people really wanted to see, the Olds. 403 under the hood:



I need a new digital camera, then I'll have more pics.

Nice.....

i had an 82 once...i wish i had an olds 403 in it tho...very nice

that is sweet

What kind of numbers is that bad boy cranking out?

Nice looking ride! That 403 put outs 160 HP, right? I know the numbers are so low it'* scary.

The stock Oldsmobile 403 in the '79 Trans-Am'* had 185 HP, less HP than the Chevy 400, but more torque. And the numbers that my 403 is cranking out now... I honestly don't know. I've never took it to a dyno, and I don't even want to make an estimate. I've been working on the engine for about two years now (bored 0.60 over, Crane lift-cam, etc.), I'll get more indepth about engine modifications later in the proper forum.

Now... I have taken it to the famous Bithlo 1/4 mile drag strip. One of my favorite races was the time I went against a Porsche Carrera drop-top. I had so much distance on him, after the race he immediately drove home (after he already paid full admission for the entire night). Another one of my favorites was when I raced a modified Surbaru WRX STi on the strip. His car ran mid 12'*, and I pulled him by more than a car length. He took it in stride though, and we became friends. I'll also put up my specs from Bithlo later aswell (in the proper forum).

But... before I put up my strip specs, I would like some Southeast Bonneville Club members to see it in action sometime, that way I have witnesses (unless you all REALLY want to see the specs, then I'll post them).

Thank you everyone for the positive comments.This is a great forum, and I'm really glad that I joined.

Cool, another early 80'* gen Bonnie in the club.
welcome Steve

So you prolly run low 12s in that beast? Thats awsome!

That heavy car would pull those kind of numbers...wow
