If It's all the same to you and you guys have unlimited budgets swapping in a manual is all I'd have considered since you already had the motor and trans out of the car.
Right?! I understand product placement to pay the bills, but when engine bay cleaner and rust penetrator gets more screen time than the actual engine removal and install, it gets a bit ridiculous. At least cut back a bit on the Mopar show or something to actually focus a bit of time on the build. 🙄
I totally agree with you. Infomercials like this are getting annoying and it earned a place in my do not watch list of RUclips channels. It's really a shame to ruin what could have been a great channel.
I got rid of cable tv because of the damn commercials. Like roofys garage said above. I understand commercials to pay bills but goddamn this episode was ridiculous! I can’t deal!! 🤮
Never have been a GM fan, but I can appreciate this build, especially since you're using an Olds engine and not just throwing another LS in it like everybody and their brother does. Back in the early 70's, my friend had a '71 442 455 that was pretty nasty. I was driving one evening and happened to pick a race with a '69 Pontiac Gran Prix, and it was pretty scary watching the speedo run back around past zero. With my friend talking to Jesus, I managed to pass the Gran Prix with traffic coming at us. We got down the road, the Pontiac disappeared, and we stopped to gather our nerves together. Never tried that again!
I have a 2004 R rebuilt Art Carr performance transmission in my 72 olds. 30 over 455. 400 + horsepower. That 2004R rebuilt with the right parts would do just fine behind that engine. The nice thing about the 2004R is it’s the same length as the turbo 350. No driveshaft or yoke change. The gear ratio is better than that 700. And you have to use an adapter plate to mate it to the olds. The 200 has a universal case. BOP and Chevy.
I'm sure Monster gave them the 700R4, I have an '85 442 and my 2004R Bowtie Overdrives level 2 trans held up to 6000 RPM shifts and burn outs behind a built 403 (easily 425hp) and that trans is still fine. AND think it's cheaper than a Monster 700R4!
In 1990, I had a 1985 Cutlass supreme. I pulled out the anemic 307 130 HP engine, and built a 403 Olds small block based on the David Smith Oldsmobile design. 9:1 compression, pump gas, I sent the computer-controlled quadrajet to the carb shop to have it reworked. That being said, at the end of it all it ran a 12.70 in the quarter mile. I had mated it it to a 700R4 using a TCI adapter so it can bolt to a BOP motor. Those were some of the best days.
@@viiriix6525 My one mistake was having a non Olds a person work on my heads. I didn't want to ship them to California to Dave Smith and lose a couple of weeks with my only car. So I had a local guy work on it, after that, the car started running like crap. Number four cylinder lost the valve seats. I pulled the heads off the engine on the stand. Unfortunately, someone went to use my engine stand and didn't the cover my motor back up and it ruined my engine with it's sitting out in the air. I think I paid $600 at the time to have Dave Smith give me a set of heads with larger 2.072 and 1.625 valves, dual springs, new guides and seals. Had I known better at the time as I was really new at this, for $1,600 instead of $600, I could have had them do a full-out set of performance heads for me. Lesson learned, but it was a hard pill to swallow with such a fun car.
@@viiriix6525 in 1990 I had a 69 camaro that ran 9.30s The first time I took it to the track I got thrown out because the car didn't have a cage . I had a 496 big block 14 :1 compression . Ultradyne Roller cam Dominnater carb Team G intake Closed cambered heads from a ls6 engine ported and polished With a 250 shot of Nitrous For what the engine was it ran extremely well .
@@jeromejozwiak4705 It took you 250h.p. worth of nitrous to get in the low 9s? Wow..

You should have built yourself an N/A, no power adder BBO, and you would have been there on motor only... 😜
I still love this build!!!! You wonderful gentlemen have made this car into exactly what I always dreamed of for my first car a 1981 Cutlass Supreme with a 350 Olds my favorite car ever and I am a 1000% Ford guy
The 2004R would have been just fine with a solid rebuild. It has several advantages over the 700R4. Many of them doing just great behind some very high HP Grand Nationals.
We did a 455 swap into a 82 Oldsmobile Cutlass years ago and ran a th400 trans, Super Comp Long tube headers, 800 Edelbrock Carb & a 373 Posi-Trac Fun Street Car
I hated those old 1 7/8" Super Comp headers that were 2-piece, and wrapped the one tube around the frame. I REALLY like the Stainless 2" ARH headers I have now, where all the tubes go down without having to go around the frame. They have spiked merge collectors built-in to them also. 4" collector outlets
For a second I thought you were same guys that had a Hurst olds 80s. Repainted without the red stripe. Are you kidding me. But yours has it. I'm a Pontiac man. But kudos for your build. I love all old Detroit muscle. Well Ford is in last place but oh well. Good job guys.
All that polishing on the body and than your new recruit is leaning over the fender scratching the hell out if it... Not to mention with his power washing while the windows are down?
My old neighbor Sal was one of Joe’s closest friends and fellow freak engine guru’s. Joe did a set of heads for a 400 water jacket engine named the Mini Mouse about 40 years ago. That car ran consistently at 11.54 in a 66 Chevelle. Less commercials would be nice.
So you decided to go with a 700-R4 citing that the 200-4R is light duty. But did you know the Buick Grand National 200-4R was a beefed up version? Also there are a few transmission builders that can build a 200-4R to withstand some serious abuse.
Ignore the haters guys, I understand the product placements help pay the bills. I enjoy everything you guys do and have watched tommy for over a decade and joel is a great addition to the crew. Keep up the good work, love me a g body!
Why in the hell would anyone swap a superior 2004R for a POS 700R4? Sponsors, that's why. They couldn't survive behind stock swirl port 350's, why would I want one behind a 455? No good reason at all, unless it was free like on this show.
@@logancarter2134 im not sure if you knoe how shows work...but you need sponsors to help pay the bills. In return you have to plug them every chance you get. It sucks but thats how it goes. I went through that being on tv for a few years
There were 700R4s that got a vehicle speed sensor in place of the mechanical speedometer cable drive. A speedometer cable is not needed with that transmission.
This is just what i wanted to do back in the mid 80s when Cutlass bodies were way to plentiful and big block relics from the very early 70's was just another old gas guzzling undesirable! Swap a 7.4 liter engine into a 3.8 liter body was simple power to weight ratio!
About time that 455 got a home! An Extreme Automatics, CK Performance or Art Carr 200-4R would've been the way to go. I wish you guys gave a little more info on those Headers, I'm assuming they're ARH G-body Olds Big Block headers? I have an '85 that I yanked the 307 out of and put in a 403, these cars are so much more fun with some HP!
As much as I like seeing some old Dodge iron, it sure would have been nice to see more about the Olds and the the new engine. Still a good video though.
The 200 4R could have been built to handle the 455 and would bolt up to the block without an adapter. While the 700 is easier to source, it has a Chevy bell housing, a fact that YOU DID NOT MENTION! I know advertisers run the show, but you need to be honest with your viewers, most of whom have not driven a '69 Delta 88 out of the showroom, lacking the real life experience of wrenching on a car.
As a younger man we did a few big block olds in a cutlass but alway had a problem with the AC firewall cover sharing the same area as the headers. I hope they mention how they worked around that problem.
I've NEVER had a problem with headers in the heater box area with a BBO in these G-Bodys, but I HAVE had issues with the valve covers hitting the HVAC box, every time. It was WORSE if the car had A/C also. I had figured out a way to trim the heater box off the side that interfered with the valve cover, and replace the section that I cut out with a piece of sheet metal, and be able to keep the heater.
Man, I had an 87 Cutless that I dropped a 455 in and that big bitch did not just slide right in like this one did. granted my 455 came from a 72 Buick Electra so maybe the Buick block is bigger/wider than an Olds block. Idk, either way, It took 2 buddies of mine and myself almost 2 days of tweaking things here and there to make the Buick motor fit properly. the Cutty went from a Sunday church-going vehicle to a fun beast that would just guzzle gas once you opened her up. with a factory 17 gal fuel tank you could watch your fuel gauge slowly drop every time you opened it up. didn't care though cause at the time gas was $1.19/gal for premium so didn't bother me to drop a 20 in the tank every day. Lol. had the Cutty for 20yrs before letting her go and I regret it almost daily.
The Buick 455 is the lightest Big Block there is! These guys glossed over A LOT with the 455 swap, the editing makes it look much easer than it actually is. It's tight by the A/C Condensor, you must use stock valve covers or notch the condesnor box and those HEaders are extremely expensive (like $1500), that stupid Monster Trans isn't a direct swap either.
I was excited to watch this episode. I do understand that they need to do some product placement to pay for these builds but this episode seems a little excessive .
Right?! I understand product placement to pay the bills, but when engine bay cleaner and rust penetrator gets more screen time than the actual engine removal and install, it gets a bit ridiculous.

THey do some pretty interesting builds on Engine power now with the new kid that I'd say are definitely budget friendly builds. Joe came on the show well over 10 years ago when they first built this 455.
@@dancampbell4400 the hosts have no say in what products are being shilled. whatever corporate overlord opps I mean sponsor threw the production company the most money is the ones that get shilled hardcore
That's an expensive transmission with a questionable future. I would have put in a stock 4l80e with a TCI controller. Cheaper and more reliable and no TV cable to worry about. I've gone through too many "built" 700r4s.
Did I miss the part where they showed the adapter plate that’s required to got from the 455 with the BOP pattern to the Chevy pattern 700r4? Maybe also say who’s headers they used?
American Racing Headers... The NICEST swap headers you'll find to put a big block Olds into a G-Body. Stainless steel, 2" primary tubes, 4" spiked merge collectors built-in, fits the chassis PERFECT without hitting or having to be bashed. But be ready to pay to play.. About $1600 a set. Worth it though.
I said before and I'll say it again. It ashame they took a part well condition 40+ year old, Hurst Edition low numbers survivor car. I would have preferred a black and gold 442 or a regular cutlass Supreme full restored as Hurst Edition clone or a Joe Mondelo tribute car. My 2 cents.
I assume these guys are in California, where they could find plenty of donor cars in little to no rust. Instead they find good examples of rare(r) cars and ruin what little they had going for them for price and nostalgia reasons. But, a budget is a budget, and this show must go on. I'd much rather see guys take an old base model car and make it a clone, or even a wild street car. It'd also be nice to see shows like this doing up a car with a small budget in mind.
Even after all these years, some people still don't get it and have to spend more money to get the 700 to work where a 200-4R originally was installed. Plus, they don't even realize that the 200-4R is a better transmission. I'll gladly take that weak transmission off of your hands. By the way, it's 200-4R not a 200-R4. I hate it when a car guy says it wrong. It immediately makes them think there not so smart of a car guy after all.
I’ve had a monster super duty 4l65e in my 07 classic Silverado for about 2 years and 100,000 miles of pretty much towing and I haven’t had an issue with it. Maybe I just got lucky but after seeing reviews I probably won’t be going with them again😂😂😂
2004R is light duty? 🤣 Tell that to the turbo Buick community with those transmissions running 9's, even 8's. You dumped that for a POS monster transmission?!? Ahahahaha
Another waste of time powernation show. Half the show is selling products & not showing any of the build. Also, don't forget the "field trip" to a random boring swap meet or whatever. Would be nice to actually see a powernation show that actually does what the title says it was going to do. Probably why the show no longer exists except in rerun form.
I can’t imagine these guys WANT to do product placements, they’re just doing what the corporate higher ups are telling them, somebody has to pay for the parts
@@marvinturnmire7406 What you forget is the additional 6 commercial breaks that are also selling products. I get they need sponsors, but sponsers that take up more time than the actual show is ridiculous.

I said before and I'll say it again. It ashame they took a part well condition 40+ year old, Hurst Edition low numbers survivor car. I would have preferred a black and gold 442 or a regular cutlass Supreme full restored as Hurst Edition clone or a Joe Mondelo tribute car. My 2 cents.
I assume these guys are in California, where they could find plenty of donor cars in little to no rust. Instead they find good examples of rare(r) cars and ruin what little they had going for them for price and nostalgia reasons. But, a budget is a budget, and this show must go on. I'd much rather see guys take an old base model car and make it a clone, or even a wild street car. It'd also be nice to see shows like this doing up a car with a small budget in mind.
@@davidvaughn7778 I believe they are in Tennessee.
@@crw3673 that would account for the accent of one of the guys.
They need to do a Dodge Spirit build to get the grannies hot
Yea, umm NO
did u guys use American Racing Headers,cause I couldn't find anything else that fits
Even after all these years, some people still don't get it and have to spend more money to get the 700 to work where a 200-4R originally was installed. Plus, they don't even realize that the 200-4R is a better transmission. I'll gladly take that weak transmission off of your hands. By the way, it's 200-4R not a 200-R4. I hate it when a car guy says it wrong. It immediately makes them think there not so smart of a car guy after all.
I'd would have picked a real classic for such an amazing endeavor, this car doesn't exactly scream ol, school a 455 engine deserve a real car.
Take a look at my 85, and say that again.. 😜
I like how he chose a gm not bop pattern
G.M. IS b.o.p.... 😕
Ole bill nye over here
@@chrishitchner6826 Well, you were wrong... 🤷🏻🤦🏻
The 455 Oldsmobile engine is only 1.5 inches wider than the small block 307. It could pass for being a 307 to the unknowing person.
It's more wider than just 3/4" on each side....
They got a Shake Weight hanging on their tool wall 😂
Put a manual in it.
You need a transmission BOP pattern to fit an Oldsmobile engine,that one won't fit
Shake weight hanging on the tool wall😄 Shouldn't there be a limit to how many sponsors can be in one video?
I’d imagine that beyond their control
That tommy guy isn't as fat and has a ton more hair on top..old show..but its ok!
That crusty ‘Cuda at the end was Dylan McCools wasn’t it??
Just another long ass ad!
I don't believe in safety glasses either. (Stevie Wonder)
You would think after all these years they would know that monster transmission is a joke... Then things don't hold up at all
If monster spent a fraction of the budget spent on advertising as the did on research and development they might be worth the money.
Monster transmissions aren't worth the ugly spray paint that they're covered with!
I’ve had a monster super duty 4l65e in my 07 classic Silverado for about 2 years and 100,000 miles of pretty much towing and I haven’t had an issue with it. Maybe I just got lucky but after seeing reviews I probably won’t be going with them again😂😂😂
Tommy i thought a Hurst OLDS.came with a 4 speed box.!!!
it does a 200r4. they are replacing it with a equally crappy 700r4
Was this a commercial to sell items? I do t remember Power Nation being this bad😢
but its still an oldsmobile
2004R is light duty? 🤣 Tell that to the turbo Buick community with those transmissions running 9's, even 8's. You dumped that for a POS monster transmission?!? Ahahahaha
When y’all consider selling all the old parts y’all took off the car
Let us introduce you to Individual Throttle Bodies for LS! and LS3. The best N/A intakes on the market.
BBO
Another waste of time powernation show. Half the show is selling products & not showing any of the build. Also, don't forget the "field trip" to a random boring swap meet or whatever. Would be nice to actually see a powernation show that actually does what the title says it was going to do. Probably why the show no longer exists except in rerun form.
Hmm. I wonder how they afford to make these shows?
Could it be the commercials and products they hock?
I mean no one is making you watch that’s your choice
@@TimothySchulting This episode actually came out like a month ago. Newest episode is S9E17, this is S9E14.
I can’t imagine these guys WANT to do product placements, they’re just doing what the corporate higher ups are telling them, somebody has to pay for the parts
@@marvinturnmire7406 What you forget is the additional 6 commercial breaks that are also selling products. I get they need sponsors, but sponsers that take up more time than the actual show is ridiculous.
200r4?
What kind of headers did you guys use part # I have a g-body with olds 455
And did you have to rap the starter and header from hot starts
What kind and yr headers are they
