1979 Olds Cutlass coupe. I loved everything about the car except the weak 260 V8 that put out 110 hp. A buddy had a 70 cutlass and totalled it. I put the 70 350 Olds rocket in my 79 and that car flew and got over 20 mpg on the hiway with the 400 turbo transmission. Being a 70, it had 9:1 compression and no egr. I put the HEI distributer in it.
A great engine, and a fun car.
May it RIP.
