Wow, 185hp is really good for an engine with no valves, no oil capacity, etc.

Here's somthing odd about my 403, it has no water jackets between the inner cylinders like on most engines, that area is just dead casting space.... no wonder it likes to overheat....

#29, Sounds like a bit of a design oversight. But oh, the overboring you could do.. :-P

#30, They say any build up on that engine will have to include a fan shroud, 3 core radiator and a coolant system that's bulletproof, it was probably done to save time and money in construction, the 403 was never supposed to be a performance engine, it was supposed to be a low-pollution, high-tourquer for curising cars like the Delta 88's and sutch, it was kinda forced on the F-bodies as a "well, it's all we got" decision for the late 70's

#31, Welcome to the world of smogger engines, indeed.
Sort of the same case with the Thunderbird I had--not impressive power, or torque overall (215 lb-ft), but it hit torque peak at around 2200 RPM.

The 403 will deliver torque by the bucketload between 2K and 4K RPMs, and has a factory rated output of like 320ft/lbs

That's a pretty good amount of torque, all things considered.

#34, Yeah, it was the powerplant Olds put in the cars that would get the towing package, so it had to have that if nothing else, and get this, it uses "windowed" mains, the webbs aren't solid metal, but look like bridge girders, there's holes in them, that pretty much makes the 403 useless as a strip engine, winding it past 6K = Hand Grenade

#35, Yeah, but with the new heads, it should suit your purposes pretty well, right? Just a quick daily driver?

Yep, they say in street use, if you do it right, you are pretty much not going to ever blow the bottom end, the weak mains only keep it off the strip, and pretty much also make it not feasable to use NOS or Supercharging, but, the 403 does have great airflow characteristics, its' bore is larger than that of the 455 big block, and with the right heads, the HP comes up to match the torque numbers
