It is single but won't be when I am done, currently it has original 330 and two speed jetaway
Soon it will have the 455 with th400 with I think the x,y manifolds with 2.5 piping with the monorso spiral mufflers .
The car reads 69k but I wonder if it might be original still has orig ball joints with no play at all it came from a small town so anything is possible

Damn, that's a mean crack. Somebody has a mean little 330 to crack a frame like that one.
Car is coming along nicely.

Must be from the vista 3:23 gears that was installed at some time 330 looks stock when I got it I installed the Eddie carb because something was wrong with the floats on the I think it was OE one

Not a big deal because the flywheels are drilled to accept both diameters.

The jet-a-way will bolt up to any oldsmobile engine. Just as any other tranny or bellhousing with a BOP bolt pattern will bolt up to an oldsmobile engine. Basically, plug an play! Now, whether the jet-a-way can handle a 455 is different story.
