| This page is dedicated to my 1987 Cutlass Supreme, which I purchased in May 1998. I took out the original 307 and installed a well-built 403. The installation took many months, but it was well worth it. A friend and myself ended up finishing the install with around 3 inches of snow on the car and ground. There are many other modifications that I have either done or am planning to do. Over all, I think that I have between $8,500 to $10,000 invested in this car, with almost $4,000 invested in the engine and everything that was necessary to do the install. On July 23, 2001, my 87 Cutlass was appraised at $4,800, up from the $3,500 it was apprasied at on February 29, 2000. The difference came from the 403 installation. I am a proud member of the Olds Gmail mailing list, a group of people that do nothing but help one another when it comes to fixing and enjoying Oldsmobile G-Bodies of all years. I would just like to thank all that personally helped me get my great Cutlass in the shape and condition that I always wanted, especially my girlfriend, Ally, who has put up with me and my "obsession" since I bought it.

| The wheels in the pic above are reproduction SSIII wheels which were powdercoated "chrome" I like the different look of them, plus they clean up alot easier than the factory chrome. Behind, the car, you will notice the garage that my friend and I have spent the last year building. (It's his house and garage, I just supplied alot of my time and effort) Inside, there is a 9000lb 2 post lift, with a mostly-filled Snap-on toolbox. Life is good sometimes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here is a pic of my 403, it is up and running, but it still needs some cleaning and dress-up. Runs like a champ though. It has Arias/Mondello flat-top pistons, a mild cam, ported and polished heads, Shorty Hedman Hedders, and a true dual exhaust, with an "H" pipe. I recently switched out the 350 turbo trans for a 2004R transmission, with a Crossmembers.com custom crossmember. The trans was built by Vinny at Reno's American Transmissions, located in Wilmington, Delaware. Visit my 403 Expenses. |

| This picture was taken Sept. 14th, 2002, at Sly Design's Fall show in Seaford Delaware. Although I didn't even come in the Top 20, I still had fun. These are my new Offenhauser polished aluminum valve covers. I also had the intake off, and painted it with POR-15's engine paint. They say that it will never burn off, and other than the brown tint at the heat choke, I'd have to agree. I keep switching different carbs, and have yet to find one that works the best yet. Right now(Summer '04) I am getting over 12 mph, including city driving. . Still fine tuning it, but I ran a best of 14.9 @ 92.1 mph. I'm still considered a novice drag racer, but I am getting better. I replaced the 2.41 gears in the 7.5" rear with 3.42s and an Auburn posi unit that I got from Randy's Ring and Pinion.(www.ring-pinion.com) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
