Charley,
Do you think it would make the drive cross country to Michigan?

I would feel better if it was shipped.

Re: 66 Olds 442 Rescue
 

Half the fun is the sense of adventure. Has it been off the road awhile or has it been a driver? Did you notice anything major needed in the way of repairs? If it steers and stops OK, doesnt smoke bad, temp runs normal, and tires are decent I might not be afraid to give it a whirl. Looks like a perfect project for my teenage sons first car. Get back to me on these questions and I will have a chat with the wife. (Or should I say Boss!)

Charlie, what heads are on it? It'll have a 3/4" tall letter in the bottom left corner of each head. Also what is the block #? located on the flat surface between water pump and intake? If its a big block it'll have a letter designation, if it's a small block it'll have a number. Heads too. I see it's got the crossover manifolds on it. Not the true duel exhaust manifolds. Doesn't look like the original engine. What trans does it have in it? Looks like a GTO Hurst shifter too. Thats not a 442 piece.

Re: 66 Olds 442 Rescue
 

head has a 8 and a X. Block is 395558 and a large 2.. Intake is a performer Olds 350. Fuel line is cracking, no fan shroud, brake booster hose is plugged.

Hey, I kinda like it, ditch the rims, keep the tires, add a nice new red or black paint, get the interior factory fresh, fix the problems previously listed, and you have a respectable cruiser. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
