That thing is screaming duramax or even bigblock.

Nick clean your glasses. It had duct tape covering the diesel fuel only.

Well for not being original, it is still a sweet car!

agree, this thing is so clean, On Monday I will put up on lift, and get more pictures up,

I wounder what engine is in it. The valve covers don't look 307, or 305. Maybe a 301.

hard to say, I am a chevy man, and my pontiac olds man is out of town, I am thinking 400, I post more pics up tomorrow

post a side on shot of the valve cover/cyl head,.driver side,.
i can see its got an adapter plate on the intake so it can run a small bore carter/edelbrock carb i,m guessing,.

Will do tomorrow

what was a direct replacement for the olds diesel?

I'm even interested in this car if it's a nice runner! I've always liked those.

Being a diesel originally would explain the low miles if that's actual mileage. I remember seeing another with like 20K that someone did an engine swap on because the original went.

Does it look like an Olds block? I know that when the diesels had problems a lot of people swapped over stuff like Olds 403's and even Caddy engines from what I've heard. I do see that oil filler up on the front...

car runs real good, brakes are all there, little spongy peddle, but stops on a dime, trns is smooth, exhaust has a leak around the muffler, but will know more tomorrow when I put it on the lift

I had a feeling

more pictures on first post of motor and under side
the motor has a throttle body fuel injection!
needs exhaust soon, was undercoated not too long ago, NO ROT! front end is tight,
Posi rear!

This is a hell of a deal. Wish I had the $$

So WTF engine is in this thing? I saw the TBI and my jaw dropped, that must be the reason for that adapter plate! This car is odd, in a good way!

I'm interested, but I'd have to

-Find room for another car
-Find money for said car
-Find extra work to get extra aforementioned money

I have the white Caprice, but I think I want to hold onto that. I've always liked those Olds' 2 doors though. I even like the wheels...

I wonder how reliable that thing would be as a DD with the TBI set up and all that?

So you basically just talked yourself out of it.

Didn't you know I'm an indecisive mofo?

yea, I almost fell over when I saw the tbi, starts up nice, nice throttle response, I would think it would have low gears being a diesel before
here is the tag

Definatly a Diesel, V8 to. Kinda cool. I just ran the VIN. Didn't come back in Compnine, but the N is diesel. Built in KS.

http://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vincards/pdf/vincard84.pdf

Yeah, I tried compnine and nothing.

I wonder why they went with TBI? Was it because diesel is technically fuel injection, and the swap would have been easier? It appears to have an undercar fuel filter?

LF9 diesel.

Halfway down the page, it talkes about this diesel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_V8_engine

Because it was basically the same block, i'm betting the fuel lines and such came damn close for the gas as the diesel.

Love to seen it new.

ok, who is coming to get it?


I would love to see this car go to someone who would show it love it deserves
not someone who wants to put 26's on it with a lift kit

I wish I had the funds to buy it, and stuff a duramax/alison combo in it.

Me too.

Me three. My father would murder me and put my head on a pike in front of the house though. I think at this point anything I can't put a plow on and make money is out of the question, lol.

Snooze you lose, Sold locally! $2000.

Good, now I don't have to buy it! And you got more money. LOL

What do you mean diesels are great for plowing

Get this and plow with your blazer.


....but now that it's sold, get that 74

I'm glad it sold. I was gonna get a divorce finding a way to get it in my driveway.

Congrats on the sale.

Jerk.

it was an olds motor,.

This is what I had in mind.
