hate to be the one to point out the bad news however that motor is not a 455 in fact its a small block as given away per timestamp 36:19 of your video and there is no raised casting behind the timing cover... as well as they never made the edelbrock RPM performer intake for the Olds big block only the small block however when they did make that RPM intake the put extra material in the runners to hog out so you can in fact run the Edelbrock aluminum heads... been doing Olds since 1987 and this is allllll facts. you do have a nice running and sounding motor though. please feel free to further research any of my info and you will see i am spot on
Man, I love this car! Been looking for a 1969-1972 Cutlass to build for a few years but unfortunately the prices have skyrocketed, and people are asking 4-5K for rusty junk that needs a complete restoration. Took my driver's test in a 1970 Cutlass F85 that my parents owned in 1981. 350, dark green with aluminum slot mags. Used to cruise it on Saturday nights with Billy Squire cranked in the 8-track. Great memories with a fun car. That baby would lay one-legger stripes forever. 🙂
I look forward to your videos. The cars your working on are exactly what I like. You actually know what your talking about which is nice too. Keep them coming.
My first car!! mine was a baby blue drop top. 442 package very nice car! mine had a 350 w/4bbl 4 speed. it was fast as heck passed everything except gas stations. good luck with it looks very nice!
I love it that’s what I think about it love this 1970 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme clone W 30 or 31 nice color to this car is one of my favorites along with all your Pontiacs love the old Buicks too my favorite nice I’m glad I got to see this awesome car I hope I get to see more of it on your channel my friend thank you for sharing it with us and letting us get to see this beautiful awesome Oldsmobile cutlass supreme
Cool Rig you got there loveit! ...We had a 69 W30 Blue...and yes had manual brakes.2 dr post model 350 Rocket 4 speed with long legs would do 140mph no problem.950$ this was back in like 1980 lol i was 18 yrs old ... ya im old . Like ur work ethic and know how...cool channel bud .your Canadian friend
Look at the casting number between the water pump and intake. That looks like a small block Olds from here. If the casting number ends in 558 its a 350
kinda looks like you deleted your comment on my info being dated however it did show up under my notifications,,,oddly enough I looked at the edelbrock website and still see no version of the RPM intake for the big block so therefore I stand with my comment
I had a 73 Grand Am (LeMans) - similar size and generation, unmodified - and was able to push the seat back far enough that I was comfortable to drive with my long legs, and had plenty more backup room to spare. Also knew a guy who got a 70 Cutlass new, taller than me, who did not say anything about the seat spacing. So something off with the driver's seat/tracks on that Cutlass, different from stock original. Should be fixable.
this car is a clone,never was a w-31.somebody did a good job with the striping. air cleaner is a 71 unit,. lot of good stuff on that car i dont think thats a 455 because edelbrock never made a performer rpm intake for a 455,just the air gap intake.
The W-31 package was a one year only package available in 1970. It was not as popular than the much more common W-30 package which offered the 455 big block engine which before 1970 was not offered in any intermediate car due to GM corporate edict.
🤔 I'm wondering if that car was actually a rally 350... I see yellow paint on the fender at the bottom and it's got all the things that are rally should have. You need to look at the trim tag
Sometimes I wonder where your head's at crank the wheels to the left as hard as you can and you're afraid you're going to get stuck and you pull up halfway and stop. Or you could get stuck again and you take the car out with antique gas in it and start standing on it and saying it's stumbling. Am I missing something here?

Thank you much Chad! I'm almost done with another old Pontiac. Just waiting on parts. Once I get them, I'll have the video up shortly!

That's one sharp looking car. Had a 79 442 back in the day, loved it.
Those are slick cars! I'd love to have one with a lightning rod shifter

Thank you for sharing. This was easy compared to some of the others. Thanks for sharing!
💯👊👍
Worked at the local Olds dealer in high school...always liked 442's /W-30's ... a few of the mechanics had them as daily drivers...they could haul...
Cool ride
Good video!

Good video I would watch them when you put them up thank you for the tip on the lug nut studs
That's a cool rig, Jeff. Surprised you don't have a lift in your shop. Would make things a lot easier.
Nice. Subscribed hoping to see more like this.
Nice mix of content
Your right about non power brakes on W31
It’s a nicely fitted out Cutlass though
Possibly sold new in California due to the Vapor canister
Vroom, vroom, vroom down the road in the 442 you will goooo.

I'm hoping so! Love those Grand Ams! I have a 75 that's pretty well optioned. They're a lot of fun
73-77 is a completely different chassis and floor.
Clone or not, still a nice car. I'm not so proud that I wouldn't want to be seen in it
It's definitely one of my favorites in the fleet! I've been really pleased with it
Is the 70 Olds gonna be for sale?
Had the W37 rear cover was this a real w31 car has 3,73 ratio gears at 3,500 at 60 mph
this car is a clone,never was a w-31.somebody did a good job with the striping.
air cleaner is a 71 unit,.
lot of good stuff on that car

@@1575murray you are wrong.the w-31 package was available in 3 years 68 to 70.

Hi there! Feel free to email me at chiefclassicauto@gmail.com
@@ChiefClassics Thanks! We will send you more details.
They put the wrong markings on it! It's a W30 442 clone! PEACE ✌️
Lmao. Wrong . Right markings for a small block but not a real w-31. It’s just a plain gutlass
