Re: Olds 350 vs Chevy 350?

Long time ago I got a great deal on a loaded '79 Silverado SB 'cause it was a 5.7 diesel. I clattered around for awhile and swapped it out for a 455 out of a '71 Toronado. Everything bolted up easily. I added an O4B alum. intake, 750vac. Holley and a Melling copy of a W-30 cam. SERIOUS TIRE BLASTER.... serious gas hog too. Had 2 16gal saddle tanks.
