The gentleman driving it took off a litlle hard, and no smoke at all came out of the tailpipe. That car was indestructable.
By the way, the engine block was painted baby blue. The engine was rebuilt and repainted by my uncle. Is baby blue the color for Buick or Olds. I seem to recall one was supposed to be gold...

Buick used many colors, a light green/blue and red being most notable. Chevies were blue before they were orange. The Old engines could be a gold color
By the time Olds made the 403 I dount it would be painted blue at the factory. Somebody just painted it blue during the transplant. I use "GM Coroporate Blue" engine paint on my brake drums, it's a light blue and easily available, I'd bet that was the color
