Hey everyone, this is my first post so any posting suggestions are appreciated.

I recently bought a 55 Olds 88 sedan. I have also recently bought a 1965 0r 66 425 Olds block and crank. Now I am fairly new to building hot rods and wanted everyones 2 cents worth.

I plan to put mostly newer parts on the block. Edelbrock makes some nice aluminum heads and Mondello makes a ton of parts. I still haven't thought about the tranny or the rear end. I also plan to put a Mustang 2 front clip from Fatman on to accomodate air bags. Air bags in the back too. Also plan for 4 wheel disc brakes to make the thing stop.

I'm not looking to build a track/drag car, just something that moves fairly good when you step on it. And I want it to handle a lot better than it does now. I guess it's more of a custom than a hot rod, but I've never really been explained the difference.

As for the original 324 V8 currently in the Olds, I plan to keep it for a later late 20's early 30's hot rod build I have planned.

I am open to suggestions, that is why I am here. This is a nice little website.
