1968 Oldsmobile 442 Supercharged 6.2 L LSA V8 Driveline Swap at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop
This very nice 1968 Oldsmobile 442 tribute car is wearing a crisp restoration and features some modified parts intended to give this car better handling and drivability. It’s not a numbers-matching W30 car, although it looks like one. It’s got 17” American Racing wheels, Wilwood brakes with a Hydratech hydraulic brake assist unit, Hotchkis control arms and sway bars, and a few other goodies. It’s powered by a big block Olds engine, but the owner wanted increased reliability, as he drives this car on cross country trips. His solution is a GM LSA supercharged 6.2 liter V8 “Connect & Cruise Kit” which also provides an overdrive transmission. It’s not an Oldsmobile engine, but the owner has several other numbers matching 442 W30 cars, and this one is not a “numbers car”, and he likes the technology and abilities of the LSA engine and the 4L85E transmission.

1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone Supercharged 302 Gear Vendor Overdrive at V8 Speed and Resto Shop
Mercury Comet Cyclones are not the most common Muscle Car, but they are cool to see. This one is not only visually stunning with its deep maroon paint and stark white interior, it also has the guts to make it go! Under the hood is a carburated & supercharged 302, backed by a C6 transmission and a GearVendors Overdrive unit and a 9" rear axle. The combination is good for mid 11-second quarter mile times, and good driving manners on the street. It came to our the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for some maintenance, as we fixed a few leaks, checked the tune, tightened up the exhaust, and rebuilt the rear end.
