'96 Roadmaster. That should have a two bolt main version of the LT-1 350 that's in my '96 C4 Corvette. Great engine. I tried to see in the video if it has an Opti-Spark, but the ignition wasn't the video focus, so I couldn't see. The early Opti-Spark ignitions had some issues, but they had the bugs out of it by '94 +. By '96 it was a reliable ignition that you could get 150,000 miles plus out of if maintained properly. One tip for you is if you have to change your water pump, do it before coolant leaks out of the drain hole in the bottom of the water pump casting. When you do change your water pump, before installation, thread the drain hole in the bottom of the water pump casting and put a simple brass fitting in it with a piece of vacuum tubing on it, so some day when your water pump diaphram let's go, the vacuum hose will direct the leaking coolant away from your Opti-Spark and not short it out and leave you stranded. Cool road trip machine. Take care Bud
Roadmaster is one of the greatest names of any vehicle ever! Congratulations and Hyperfest looked wild too 😳
Haha the name says it all! Thank you sir

Congrats 👏 on the wagon I want to buy one here in Las Vegas here soon still searching 😃 but love your roadmaster and hold on to her she's gorgeous!
I can imagine a lot of good things for that beast! Great country cruiser with room for storage to boot! Look forward to the updates
Thank you!
Power tour is only a few weeks away, you should get it ready and drive it! I will be expecting to see it or the Vette!
Haha yes sir, that's the plan! As of now I'll be doing Charlotte through sparta, ky
We will be doing the whole drive again this year. Look for a blue Cadillac CTSV coupe.
Love the big beast! You should make that a sleeper and put something stupid under the hood.
Thanks! Great minds think alike...
Turbo LS under the hood, air mattress in the back. The double sleeper
Oh damn I like this
I have a 94 Caprice wagon. I plan on manual swapping it.
Nice!! They are cool with a manual transmission for sure
