Thread: Roadster pickup getting closer

The RPU is looking perfect - proportions are fantastic. I love the gas cap oil fill on the engine too....very neat.

Thanks guys.

Yeah Steve, I wish they made some covers like this for the 429/260 too. There isn't much out there that is old timey for those motors.

Bob, Dan has NO idea what kind of power this thing is going to make. Don had that tripower set up on a milder 455 in a '65 Olds convertible, and it moved that big old tank pretty well. Don surprised quite a few cars with it. Dan keeps asking if we put a radical enough cam in it because he wants it to idle like Dons T. With flattop pistons I told him we were on the edge anyway, don't want any parts kissing each other in there.

Believe it or not Signshop, that is the stock Olds oil fill cap. Dan is going to chop the tube to set it lower, but leave it otherwise stock. It is kind of different looking though.
