You have to admit they sound nice but sorry to say second king of tork '70 Buick Stage 1 is the king of Tork from an Olds man who has '67 330 400HP. As well as '66 425 525HP &. '70 455 W-30 390HP both big blocks 328 duration stick grind camshafts the 425 bored 40 over making it a true 442 CI with 11:5 compression and headwork as well as Edelbrock Torker single plane intake 4000 stall converter reverse pattern manual valve body with trans brake & 4:56:1 rear posi running 11:07 quarter mile at 107 MPH going through the traps at 6500 RPM but to me there all great cars nothing better than early mussel and a lumpy cam that means business... The '70 W-30 is a stick with slight mods running 12:60's
They were great engines, shame most of us young people saw "olds" and assumed it was a car for old people. Couldn't be further from the truth, Oldsmobile was number one in luxury muscle from the 60's all the way through the early 80s!
The 403 would have been GREAT if they ALL didn't have the windowed main webs in the block. The block was JUNK for anything making big power, as they'd always fail. I've ripped the center 3 main saddles off a solid main web 455 block TWICE. The 403 broke even easier. You can literally pry the main caps around with a screwdriver when checking the crank end play. NOT good. A girdle does nothing but help to hold it all together WHEN it breaks also. There's no fix for the 403 block. It's too bad too, it has a HUGE bore for being a small block... 😟
I’ve been running Olds and building them for many years. I ordered a new W-30 in 1972, and I still have it to this day, I’m 75 years old now, but I am just finishing a frame off restoration on it with mechanical upgrades. It appears stock, but is 11:1, all forged internals, balanced and blueprinted, custom ground cam, close to the 70, 328 duration factory cam. Everything is port matched, heads have been massaged a bit, with better calves and springs. Transmission was sent out to Hughes, is full mechanical, or automatic now, with a higher stall anti ballooning converter. Went up to 3:73 rear from the stock 3:42. Stainless Exhaust from Pypes, basically everything is brand new. New interior, new glass, new wiring harness. It’s brand new again! Have owned a 1968 W -30, and a 1970 W-31, and many more besides.
Olds fanatic since I was 16 in the 70s. Many 60s 442s. My last build was 425 toronado block, big cam bores, with 455 crank, ported polished, cc'd heads, Torker Manifold, 850 Holley, Arias forged pistons, Mondello JM30 cam JM-30 Hydraulic Camshaft Bracket/Pro Drag Racing Cam, 2200-6500 RPM Range 0.560 Intake lift / 0.576 Exhaust Lift 302° Advertised Intake Duration/314° Advertised Exhaust Duration 252° Intake Duration @ .050 / 263° Exhaust Duration @ .050 106° Lobe Separation. I was lucky enough to speak directly with Joe and Bernard, talked me into their adjustable pushrods! Joe was the most supportive guy. 106 LSA. It was beastly and a rough idle. 4000 stall T400, 4.33 rear. Great memories and sweet to hear a thumping big olds 455. Thanks for putting this up!
Man, that was sweet and super lumpy. You meant big lifter bores, right? What did you do? I met Joe at Cordova, Il 25? years ago at a Olds thing. I brought a 425 to him and we loaded it up onto his trailer back to California. I got it back and enjoyed it. Joe was very kind and always made time to talk to his customers
@ilden112 Yes the big lifter bore. I was a kid, early 20s, 1982? working and saving for years to build my 455. Joe was so supportive, kind, and very confident, energized by your passion regardless of age or experience.
@jsco8692 An Olds lover with a Datsun profile pic ... my kind of people for sure ! I'm buying a 92 pathfinder 2WD 5speed and im putting an Olds 330 or 350 in it. I already have (2) 330's but looking for a good 350 rocket to use instead just due to the bigger bore. Should be a fun little tire burner but I never seem to find many people with experience or knowledge on the 330.
Hey, Fred. Don't be afraid to build your 330 (or as dey say in Chicago...tree turdy) Doesn't the 330 have a forged crank? If you get an OLDS shop to do your machining, l've heard the 330 is a nice screamin engine. I don't know much about the compatibility of the 330 block and big block heads, but l'll bet "Joe knows." Try Classicoldsmobile.com or something close to that. If you can get Joe Padavano to chime in, he knows wuts uuup. (Sorry l don't know if he is still around)
@chazj2175 I have tan both and never had any issues. With the glass I always replaced gasket and did not over tighten them which is why I think most of them have leakage.
I had one glass one and it cracked about a month of use and it sprayed fuel all over under my hood of my c10, only ran plastic ones since never had any problems with them so far
Sounds good! Had a 71 442 with a G headed 455. I ran the .013 thousand dish pistons with stock rods, arp bolts, head and main studs, and a mondello cam, torker intake and 800 holley. Ran strong! Easy mid - high 12s with a 3.08 gear and some sticky tires. Oldsmobile engines have a unique sound in the exhaust. Once you worked out the oiling issues they were stump pullers.
Awesome! I always loved the BB Olds. Had a few 425s and now the 455. It's almost impossible to over-cam these beasts. If you do it simple and right, they are great. And the header flanges are below the plugs...no cooked wires or burned paws. Take that, chebby!
@@petertilden112 I only have a jet boat now that sits in my pasture that I need to go through and rebuild. It has a 71 G headed 455 in it. I also have a 65 and 68 GTO that will be running soon some day. I always have a place in my heart for the Olds 442s. Had a 70 Cutlass S convertible that I wish I never sold.
Hi ,yeh I got to drive one of these beast year ago in south west of WA ,it was probably the best car I’ve ever driven,yep 455 of excellens I was about 16 but I’ve always remembered it I could not believe this guy let me drive it an I’ve always wanted one myself since,I’m more of a bike rider than car driver but this was something special, 1969 oldsmobile 455auto Thanks Paul ,Eric Best car mate 🇦🇺🇺🇸🏴☠️🦘✌️👍cheers

When l was 17 l had a 66 Delta with the 425. Factory 2 barrel with the thousand pound intake and the mandated single exhaust running both sides thru the pass side manifold. I think the outlet was "large" at 2.25." The barge could haze the skinny, hard 10 year old tire that came with the car ($200? maybe?) The rear passenger tire was already worn, or cooked, fried, smoked whatever. I knew from reading Peterson Publishing's "Engine Hot Rodding" that cost $2.95, BTW, l needed to get dual exhaust and 4 bbl carb for flow. I was earning $125 a week so l could only afford a 2 to 4 bbl adapter and l got some flexible 2" exhaust pipe to replace the "crossunder" pipe ALL Olds regular cars had. I ran the flex pipe under the oil pan and wrapped it alongside the factory single pipe and added a cheesy glasspack muffler near the side of the 4 door boat's passenger side to complete my true dual exhaust system. I think l added a Holley 600 vac secondary to get more breathing...even tho going thru 2 bbl manifold. Of course, l got a small nut and bolt to convert it to a poor man's double pumper. With 4 dudes in my car, l smoked my buddy's GTO for a block or 2. My best memory of the "old days."
@@petertilden112My first Olds was a 66 Dynamic 88 425 4br High Compression,surprised a lot of People in the 1/4 mile. Second gear rubber for fun plus top speed of 130 MPH
Cool! 455 is a great engine, great combination of bore and stroke. Good torque at 3,800 R.P.M. yet revs out to 6,000 with no problem. My Dad had a '68 Wildcat two door with 455, 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust from the factory. It was a highway missile!😎
Oldsmobile has always had a unique and distinct sound apart from chevy... growing up you could tell if a car had a Oldsmobile motor or chevy motor with a cam in it..
Olds 455 had bad oiling in the top end…my dad’s 70 Olds 442 W30 had problems with the top end oil…too much oil in the top…not enough oil could get back to the pan…oil starvation……Olds had to fix it….good engine….bad oiling…..😢😢
The oil problems with the 455 are mostly a marine engine problem, there aren't many times you're if any where you're going to spin the 455 above 5500 rpms for more than 15 to 30 seconds in a car unless you have a deathwish and are on a highway long enough to drain the pan . In a boat it's very easy to spin it that fast for much longer periods of time , it's pretty common to spin bearings in a jet boat and the oiling mods are a must .
Right. Most guys don't get the accelerator pump right on the 455. With long, high volume intake runners, you need a good, long shot of extra fuel fuel for great response. Q'jets, Carters, etc, can't get enough shot from low RPM. Ever notice when showing off, a lot of guys will bring it up to 2500 RPM, THEN whack it? It's all about off idle to full speed. It can be hard to test the accel pump, but l put it in drive with brake mashed then hit the gas. If it doesn't stall, it's just right. Kinds like the old brake torque test, but only a quick stab
This is one of those kinda engines where no matter who you are turns you into a bad ass, unless of course you're a child predator. Then you aren't a human to begin with, gotta love UA-cam. All of a suddenI'm watching a child pred catcher video (Skeet Hansen) the next this beautiful sound of freedom.... 🦅 HELL YURRR BROTHA, respect!
Its best to put the fuel filter in the " suction " part of the fuel line near the gas tank. Use a metal canister type. Don't put it in the pressure part near the engine
hahaha look at it shake lol, you know it's built when it runs like shit at idle but sings like a screaming demon with revs! Nothing will beat the sound of a huge cam lope.
And revs up from idle...not like some who hold it at 2500 RPM and THEN hit it. Put it in gear, bro...nail it it good. Did it die? Mine didn't. Check my other vid for proof. A commenter said "sounds like you have an exhaust leak" That's FUNNY
@@petertilden112 Guy clearly hasn't ever heard a cammed engine before. Doesn't sound like it has exhaust leak at all. My '66 F85 has a minor leak somewhere around the exhaust manifolds, iirc they were warped and when my parents got the car as part of my grandfather's estate a bit over 20 years ago they had someone redneck rig it so it wouldn't leak as bad (lots of red gasket sealer maybe?), sounds more like a lifter tick than anything heard in this video, but isn't. My 04 Suburban had it real bad (the ls motors love snapping exhaust bolts off in the heads) and it sounded like Keith Moon was in my engine bay giving the snares hell! Wonder what my Olds would sound like with a nice set of headers. With the factory logs it sounds like it's trying to be a detroit diesel!
When your muscle car sounds like the intro to "Hot For Teacher" upon cold starts, you're doing it right.

Right. Most guys don't get the accelerator pump right on the 455. With long, high volume intake runners, you need a good, long shot of extra fuel fuel for great response. Q'jets, Carters, etc, can't get enough shot from low RPM. Ever notice when showing off, a lot of guys will bring it up to 2500 RPM, THEN whack it? It's all about off idle to full speed. It can be hard to test the accel pump, but l put it in drive with brake mashed then hit the gas. If it doesn't stall, it's just right. Kinds like the old brake torque test, but only a quick stab
I can tell by the heads, it’s a ‘70. By the dash it looks like a Delta 88 or 98.

@@petertilden112 Oh yes I have all of the drag boss videos and basically everything Glidden did. Thanks
Sounds healthy
hahaha look at it shake lol, you know it's built when it runs like shit at idle but sings like a screaming demon with revs! Nothing will beat the sound of a huge cam lope.
And revs up from idle...not like some who hold it at 2500 RPM and THEN hit it. Put it in gear, bro...nail it it good. Did it die? Mine didn't. Check my other vid for proof. A commenter said "sounds like you have an exhaust leak" That's FUNNY
@@petertilden112 Guy clearly hasn't ever heard a cammed engine before. Doesn't sound like it has exhaust leak at all. My '66 F85 has a minor leak somewhere around the exhaust manifolds, iirc they were warped and when my parents got the car as part of my grandfather's estate a bit over 20 years ago they had someone redneck rig it so it wouldn't leak as bad (lots of red gasket sealer maybe?), sounds more like a lifter tick than anything heard in this video, but isn't. My 04 Suburban had it real bad (the ls motors love snapping exhaust bolts off in the heads) and it sounded like Keith Moon was in my engine bay giving the snares hell!
Wonder what my Olds would sound like with a nice set of headers. With the factory logs it sounds like it's trying to be a detroit diesel!
Sounds perfect for vintage American muscle. Can you tell us what mufflers you are running? Thanks
On the vid, the exhaust is open headers with a 18" collector extension. For street, see my other vid spiral exhaust something like that
Nice!
Nice olds
Omg !!!! Is that really the first start for months?
Not first start, but first time on the road for a while. Did you see the "cold" green light go out during the vid?
Don't know if you pose to listen to it or read it 😂😂
I see the gas needle move lol
