1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX 455ci LS7 V8 Engine

Tilt this classic's functional Ram Air Hood and you'll find 455 cubic inches of stroked crate LS7 that twists a massive 601 horsepower into 580 lb./ft. of rocket-launching torque! Bottom-side, a requisite Schwartz G-Machine chassis fits well under a massaged transmission tunnel and wide mini tubs. A tough Tremec T56 6-speed spins a custom driveshaft, which is threaded to an aluminum Winters 9-inch that's finished with 31-spline axles, 3.50 gears and a Detroit Truetrac differential. Power-assisted stops are provided by Baer 6S calipers, which squeeze drilled, 14-inch rotors. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. And everything rolls on gold Forgeline SP3Ps, which lap Michelin Pilot Sports. Between the doors, heavily bolstered RECAROs, power-operated units that are both heated and cooled, have, along with a factory bench, been decked in quality leather.
