New here. Just finished installing an Olds 403 into my 79 LWB Scottsdale that once upon a time had an Olds diesel in it. The darn thing is a big ol' pile of dookie, but has a killer engine.

The 403 is built with KB pistons and a middle of the road CompCams camshaft. Should make right around 400 ft/lbs of torque.

I am reusing the th400 that it had, but am on the hunt for some 3.42 gears to replace the 2.73s that are in it now.

The interior is pretty shot and I need a dash pad and most of the guages and the panel that goes on it....but it does go vroom!
