OLDSMOBILE!!! The 403 is an OLDSMOBILE engine. Sorry. I get a little excited sometimes.
You're right, it was alot more money and work than a small block Ford would have been, but I had two of them, and wanted something different. Actually, you would have beat me in a race. I had the 403 in a '77 Buick full size (LeSabre) which weighed in at close to 4400 pounds. The best time I had was 13.9. But, IF (that's such a big word) I had dropped it back into a Firebird or an Omega, it would have been in the low 12's. Oh well. Kinda funny how the older I get, the faster my cars were.
Take care,
