sodfamily Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Wow another Olds Cutlas Cierra build.. Looks clean as hell man.. I hear you about getting stuck in the trunk. I am a rather large guys (fat) lol and I haev been there. Here are a couple of my first build in mine. I was able to put the back seat in adn roll 4 deep if I wanted. But unlike you I have NO trunk left. Took and cut out the cross braces to get the box in. Also used the spare tire well to add space to the box.

onebadmonte Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Holy smokes, and here I thought I was using the trunk as a box. You've taken it to the next level. Nice build. A lot of hard work there, good deal. Thanks for looking. If you like what you see give me a vote for March 2010 SOTM. Vote HERE. Thanks for your support.

blackrosetiger Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I dont know if you realize this or not but using your trunk as a box effectively give you around 16.2 ft3 box (the size of the trunk) minus the displacement of the speakers & amps etc. 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.

On a side note, you have one kick-a$$ Olds there. I got to work on one in auto-tech at the old community college. Those 455's are some sump pulling torque monsters. Nice ride. Thumbs up!

I wish I knew some one with a meter. I'd post some graphs. That would help members see the system's response. That way, everyone would have an idea of how nice it sounds.

It's a little bit more than that. The basic architecture for the Oldsmobile V8 is the same from 350 cubic inches to 455 cubic inches. The block, heads, cam shaft location are the same. The difference comes in crank shaft stroke length and piston bore size. There are advantages to running big flowing heads on small engines. Bottom line its a really nice car.
