I'm building a 442
I have a 1970 Cutlass S and I'm making it into a 442 w30 clone. I'm wondering if anyone has sugestions on anything that I need to change that isn't so obvious. I want this car to be to the point where not even a die hard olds fan can tell that the cars a clone so please, if you have suggestions, please let me know. Thanks

The under-bumper air scoops would cause many to overlook other details that may be incorrect.

'70 didn't have under bumper scoops, they had ram air hoods.

4 speed or auto would be correct for a W-30 or any 442.

Hey man where did you get that information. Well where-ever you did you better go back and complain. Did you seriously think they never made a manual 1970 442. Well I hope you see that they do and you find some good info somewhere.

No offense, but just because I've never seen a ZL-1 Camaro in person doesn't mean they didn't build any. Oldsmbile did offer both a 4 speed or auto in both the W-30 and W-31 cars.
