    This was in my roadster but I had to sell the engine to cover some of the divorce. The guy that got it paid squat and it's still sitting in his backyard, rotting, and he won't sell it back. Says he going to build a hot rod with it someday. *** hole...

    A Potvin Olds, another blown g***er and of course one of the most famous Olds race cars ever, the SWC Swindler before they went to Chryslers.

    Ok, not pics, but a video of an Olds powered drag race car. And not of the engine so much, although if you're very quick at 0:36 you get a shot of the Olds. Most of this is vintage drag car footage.

    Yeah, you're right Paul! Those heads are way too fat for an Olds. That coupe is supposed to have an Olds, so I ***umed that motor was from the same car. Oh well, fun watching that vid anyway :D

    love it, I could almost hear it

    the low revving throaty take off of an early Olds churning the tires with brute torque

    so different than the high revving sidestepping of a Chevy
    or almost strange wap wap wap sound of a Mopar
