My Dad bought a 67 442 brand new. Had a 400 small block and turbo 400 tranny. He gave it to me for HS graduation. I miss my dad and that car too. Thanks dad.
@@psfanboy79 Man, that car would light those tires up until the rear of the car disappeared in smoke. Put it in low and shift to second, it would bark those H60's. 😝
@mason5540 looked like a SBC. I know with Chevy's, there are 396, 402, and 454 big blocks. But the 400 shown in the video had big block valve covers like my 454. So I don't think I understand all I know about that 400 chevy engine.😁
This car is my favorite build you guys have done. I'm a Ford guy, but Oldsmobiles have a special place in my heart. I had a 71 and a 87 Cutlass. Both had the 350 rocket.
You guys make hard work look fun and you addicted me to watching your full builds, I'm 70 years of age and I remember and really drooled over the cars you guys get the pleasure of working and improving, keep it up guys, I'm here watching for fun.
Great job on the build n polish. After 40 years can't expect miracles It does look better at the end. Yes there are cheaper products out there but trial by fire to find a good one. I used it on my 83 hurst n it came out not bad. Thank you for the video. Love it
Beautiful cutty !!!! Thank you so much for the video !! I'm a Oldsmobile guy have a 75 , 442 with a 455 n tons of go fast racing equipment .... it's nice to see hurst olds with some true olds parts not an LS thank you've made my day !
Watched this whole build episode by episode last year but will gladly watch it again, love the old g bodies and you guys did an awesome job with this one!
Idk a lot of the old g bodies like the K car and the gm stuff from each company that they own not only look exactly the same but also are practically made out of melted down tin cans and Chinese plastic
Excellent build and video. There's just not enough who want to bring back these amazing Oldsmobiles from EVERY era! Some of those cool 50's are so worth bringing back even tho there's not many aftermarket parts out there. 1957 Olds with the J2 Tri Power are AWESUM!
I've watched this video as well as your Monte Carlo video for good pointers and ideas for my 1982 Monte Carlo. It's just a rolling body, but it has a lot of potential. It has T-Tops, and an air induction hood like the one on your Hurst Olds. Thanks for the videos!
1982-88 G-body GM cars were the quintessential example for street cool💕. Buick GNX, Monte Carlo SS, Hurst Olds and Pontiac GP…….doesn’t get much better 💕..imo
OMg I’ve always wanted one of these Hurst Olds 455’s. They were so bad ass looking when I was kid seeing them drive around. So many cars and even the 80’s dodge vans I wish I could own now. Would love a clean mid 80’s dodge b1500 or 2500. I had an 85 2500 and looked awesome but the rust underneath started to take over so I got rid of it. Haven’t found one as nice or worth buying since
I love to watch when someone who knows what he/she is doing working on old american muscle, it's oh-so different to our european stuff. But when you go back long enough, you'll even find its ancestors in old cars here over the pond. Fascinating.
I grew up with the G-Body. IMO, GM used whatever happened to be laying around as they transitioned into the FWD platforms across the board. They threw all the R&D into the Ponys. Guess they didn't have any Hot Rodders left from the Muscle Era. Give me an "IRAQI TAXI", because I need a moredoor, any day of the week, a few bolt-ons and 30 years of innovation under the hood and I'm a happy camper. There's a build going on right now over in the G-Body Forum where the guy's transplanting everything from a Camaro to an '83 Malibu Wagon.
Still remember when I went to Olds dealer and did a test drive in one of these. Six years later, I was the owner of a 85’ 442 Booooo, on the rims. The factory chrome are perfect style If you’re going to use your choice, might as well leave off striping. I’ve always believe rims improve a car except in this case.
he original wheels weren't large enough to clear the upgraded brakes, but I agree the original STYLE was beautiful, and perfect for the styling cues. ✌️🐸💨
My uncle has an 84 hurst olds,he said those gold block 350's and 455's were in every junk yard when those cars were brand new. Wishes he squirled a few away back then.
Love them old G bodies! One of my grandmothers had a Monte Carlo, the other had a Regal, a buddy's mom had a 442, a buddy's dad had a GN, and I dated a girl with a Grand Prix. Did I miss and G bodies? LoL
The 1st pull on the track he says it's not that impressive but you can hear it chirping the tires when when he shift. It's not all that bad. I had an 84 Regal with a stock motorhome 350 small block Chevy and a 350 turbo trans with a shift kit and it would chirp the tires also. Certainly not an all out race engine but not bad at all.
Honestly. I would love to see you run your cars on the strip before and after. I wa sad seeing the 300 be pulled out but I am excited for the SRT4 build. Love your channel so much!!!
In your tips for hauling segments you might want to talk about properly tying the hotrod down,, preferably with the car cinched down tight onto airbags. Just a thought. Thank you POWERNATION for these ABSOLUTELY AWESOME videos!
What a beautiful car. I'm not going to lie tho coming from watching true detailing channels like Obsessed Garage, AmmoNYC etc. The fact they they used a dry plastic bag on bare paint with no liquid barrier or the clay bar on the roof for a solid 2.5-3 minutes of talking. I'm being picky tho. Cringy detail aside this is a super cool ride!
Thank you for taking another low production collector car and although anemic in performance you just made my 83 H/O worth more as i have kept it all numbers matching and thus an even more rare find.
I remember putting a new diff in my V8 Commodore using a block of wood , jack and some spanners..good Times..broke everything except the engine but had a ball.. LoL
!! Whoa!!! @13:40... Wait, a minute. You hacked out the existing spring pockets to make room for the air shocks. Okay.. What did you use to replace the hackery? Cuz I know you didn't leave a gapping hole??. Please explain?
Always liked those cars as I was a young man then. Always thought a 383 would bolt right in place. They’re wasn’t any mention of the rear end. Did you Eaton Posi it? 373’s? That’s how I’d do it. Remember the weakest link on the Grand National was the rear end. Was the olds a 12 bolt or 10 from the factory?
My Brother had a 76 Hurst 455 with the Factory 5 speed Manual that He bought Brand New, I was 16 just got my License and a Freshman in Highschool, I'd Drop my Brother off at work at 6am and Drive His car to School Every Day until He GAVE it to Me when I Graduated, DAMN the Girls went CRAZY!
I don't understand why they wouldn't have done the decal removal and replacement after they did the engine and drivetrain swap. It would have made more sense to do the detailing at the end..
I liked all the makers luxury performance cars from back then. I think the Hurst Olds was my favorite. You didn't see them as often as you did the Monte Carlo SS or the GN.
I do really wish there was some good audio of that 455 idling and going down the track with no music or talking covering up. I never did hear what it sounded like.
Exactly what I was thinking. Loved everything except the seat change. Would have been great to clean up the old ones and refoam them. Other than that, great, not over the top, job on a great classic car.
This is exactly where having the experience would tell me Hey the car needs little if any actual body work so lets just prep the car for a Base coat clear coat .. 2 stage . So I guess I would have to speak with the Bean counter who produces this show ...AND BEFORE I FORGET..... You really want to have ALL your mechanical work finished PRIOR to any body or paint work .. Do I have to say why ?
Cutting that much from front frame to clear air ride looks sketchy as hell. Those frames flexed a ton already but to cut out that much seems insane to me
Yeah, there’s plenty of room to reinforce what was removed. That missing chuck is just asking for a bent frame, esp with 500+ tq. Car is cool otherwise.
I have a 1973 Buick Regal 455 c.i. engine which I have build to .30 over bore with 8.5:1 compression listens and stock rods... The cylinder heads iron and the valves are stock, but the valve springs and retainers along with the camshaft are from Kinney Bell.... The intake manifold is stock heavy iron, with a quadrajet carburetor... The transmission and torque converter are both stock, but the transmission have a shift kit installed, the drive train is stock... And I have Air shocks in the rear... I purchased some Kenny Bell headers, but they don't fit my 455.... I remember Kenny Bell telling me he never heard of a 455 being in a 1973 Regal... He though is was a 350, not a 455... My question is would a S.P. Stage1 455 Buick Intake Manifold give me more power???? Also I have problems with freeze plugs leaking, what can I use to stop it from happening??? Can you please give me some suggestions to make this car run better and faster.... I can burn rubber from one end of the block to the other, but the speed is just not their???

Okay,
I started it over, in case I missed it.
But if you don't show me the shifters and how they work...
It's a Hurst, right???
@@jeremysterious. yep... the '83 and '84 Hurst/Olds had the Hurst lightning rod shifters

Totally agree. So tired of LS swaps...

Olds did have a way nicer interior than the Buick i had tho
Me 2 watching again ❤
Me too
Very nice restoration whilst keeping the car reasonably original to what it was built for.

I know they were from a bad era of cars....but, the styling is still cool with crisp edges and angles rather than curves.
'80s GM 'G' body, cars are going up in price!
Agreed
They were from an era of bad ENGINES. Drop a crate engine in any of these 70's-80's cars and they are awesome.
That's never been on my list of dream cars but that thing is simply gorgeous.
I’ve had one of these since 2001. So cool to finally see one get attention.
1982-88 G-body GM cars were the quintessential example for street cool💕. Buick GNX, Monte Carlo SS, Hurst Olds and Pontiac GP…….doesn’t get much better 💕..imo
Amazing how that engine installed itself.
Awesome, Derek's always the showman whether he tries or not , by including audience members, especially young people. Making him more relatable
So that's where the Grand National came from! ahahaha! rock on! Love these cars!
Already has an overdrive from the factory 2004R that can be built stronger than that 700-R4 and does not need an adapter.
Same thought I had. 200R4 can be built pretty stout and it already had overdrive.
Is amazing the cain of knowledge you guys have about all this automobiles and parts is second to none 👍
Been waiting for this for quite a while. Thanks for finally pushing it out!
OMg I’ve always wanted one of these Hurst Olds 455’s. They were so bad ass looking when I was kid seeing them drive around. So many cars and even the 80’s dodge vans I wish I could own now.

I drove a c10 short bed with a 455 when I was in my early twenties. Scared the shit out of me 😂
I love to watch when someone who knows what he/she is doing working on old american muscle, it's oh-so different to our european stuff. But when you go back long enough, you'll even find its ancestors in old cars here over the pond. Fascinating.
I loved the ‘Under-Carriage’ camera. I have often wondered what it looked like when stressed
That's 1 good looking G body!!!👍👍
Now that's a cool build!
Tommy is so cool and charming, we love you bro
1:15:44 Love the build! Everything really looks good, but maybe not the seats. Kinda makes me think of something from the Red Light District. 😲
As a previous owner of an 85, comfortable and luxurious.
Olds are sorely missed.
Beautiful car 🚗
This is movie length premiere.
I grew up with the G-Body. IMO, GM used whatever happened to be laying around as they transitioned into the FWD platforms across the board. They threw all the R&D into the Ponys.

There's a build going on right now over in the G-Body Forum where the guy's transplanting everything from a Camaro to an '83 Malibu Wagon.
As a kid who worked on many backyard projects, I always imagined these jobs requiring a lot more skilled flashlight holders.
11:48 There's a technique I havn't seen in a while, the ol' paint over dirt.
Still remember when I went to Olds dealer and did a test drive in one of these. Six years later, I was the owner of a 85’ 442
Booooo, on the rims. The factory chrome are perfect style If you’re going to use your choice, might as well leave off striping. I’ve always believe rims improve a car except in this case.
Well since wheels are only bolt on, you could have use the alloy reproduction 17 inch rallies from Year One. Same style except a little bigger.
he original wheels weren't large enough to clear the upgraded brakes, but I agree the original STYLE was beautiful, and perfect for the styling cues.
✌️🐸💨
My uncle has an 84 hurst olds,he said those gold block 350's and 455's were in every junk yard when those cars were brand new. Wishes he squirled a few away back then.
The G body is looking great and best of all sounds and runs beautifully.
That G body design I think was the most futuristic of the '80s. It reminds me of a 2015 Cadillac ATS coupe. I can see the ancestry. 😇
I actually owned the 1st '83 that came off the line. Still kicking myself in the ass for ever trading it away!
Suspension hardware looks awesome but would have like to have seen coil-overs at all 4 corners vs. the air set-up
Love them old G bodies! One of my grandmothers had a Monte Carlo, the other had a Regal, a buddy's mom had a 442, a buddy's dad had a GN, and I dated a girl with a Grand Prix. Did I miss and G bodies? LoL
FINALLY someone who understands its BETTER to upgrade to modern than redoing retro parts.
This is one sick Hurst Olds Cutlass!
Great product placement power nation ! I was almost able to watch the build in between all of the sponsorships !!

I love that bootleg version on thunderstruck y’all got in the background 😂
Also the bootleg version of Thunderkiss ‘65

What a great build..olds are my favorite someone needs to build a 77.442
Would of loved if you put the trumpets on the back. Then it would be complete. But looks 👌 good. You guys do a hell of a job
A friend of mine bought one of those very nice cars
That 700-R4 also comes with a mechanical speedo option
I had the old man version of this car when I was a kid. Couldn't even spin one tire much less both 😂
What a beautiful car.

good for you
Those cars were absolute dogs. Without an engine swap what’s the point? Look nice, but no go in em
Well that's hotrodding, you do you and others build things better.
Dupont #44 Jet Black is the best black ever made.
You guys should restore a 1967 impala 4 door hardtop

5 speed???
By 76 your 455 was an anemic dog at 190hp. I had a 77 Lincoln with a 460 and it was absolutely pathetic at 129hp. Shameful
I had a 1976 Olds 4-4-2 with a 455 Rocket and a 3 speed Hurst.
Love them G bodies
Race through the 80's.
One word.
442
I don't understand why they wouldn't have done the decal removal and replacement after they did the engine and drivetrain swap. It would have made more sense to do the detailing at the end..
Came here looking for this. It seems backwards.
@@matthewsmall6225 exactly..
Some bigger stock repos would’ve looked better but I’m not complying. Would love to have that machine, I’ve always had a thing for G Body’s.
it looks so easy too do !! a mans only as good as his tools around him !!
Very nice guys
Beautiful build but why run the exhaust below the rear axle? Those cars have plenty of space to run over the axle
air suspension
Grew up with GM cars and loving it. So sad to see how GM has declined these days.
Can’t believe you couldn’t engineer a way to keep the air conditioning. I live in Deep South TEXAS🤠
I wish I could get the parts they threw away. One man's junk is another's better parts than he has.
Just remember, the greatest G body ever made didn't need a V8 to be fast.....
Yeah but it deff helps to have forced induction
35:08 it's called soapy wooder my dude
Ummm at 47:09 look at the tool wall in the background am I going crazy or is there a shapeweight on the wall
That 3 stick shifter is a fun gimmick
Factory Seats I prefer
I liked all the makers luxury performance cars from back then. I think the Hurst Olds was my favorite. You didn't see them as often as you did the Monte Carlo SS or the GN.
There's nothing like a g body. Growing up in the nineties all the rich kids had mustangs and camaros.
The poor kids had g bodies
🏆 keep up the good work 🙏🏾 Wish you guys could help me fix my 84 olds hurst up like this 1
I do really wish there was some good audio of that 455 idling and going down the track with no music or talking covering up. I never did hear what it sounded like.
Agree thats totally annoying.
I loved this show and the 83 hurst olds however the only thing I didn’t like was the interior change such as the seats overall loved the restoration
Exactly what I was thinking. Loved everything except the seat change. Would have been great to clean up the old ones and refoam them. Other than that, great, not over the top, job on a great classic car.
This is exactly where having the experience would tell me Hey the car needs little if any actual body work so lets just prep the car for a Base coat clear coat .. 2 stage .

Cutting that much from front frame to clear air ride looks sketchy as hell. Those frames flexed a ton already but to cut out that much seems insane to me
Yeah, there’s plenty of room to reinforce what was removed. That missing chuck is just asking for a bent frame, esp with 500+ tq. Car is cool otherwise.

I would like to know what you did to upgrade the exhaust !!
Curious how did you mount a 700 R4 with a chevy bell housing bolt pattern to an Olds engine with the BOP bolt pattern ?
im sure they used a BOP to Chevy adapter
Pretty copmmon to go from 200 bolt pattern to 700
Hurts/Olds came with a Th2004r transmission, which is a universal bolt pattern. You can use B.O.P. with them. But also, ya, most likely an adapter.
