Need For Speed
Want more power from your Rocket? How about
397 H.P. and 400 Ft. Lbs. of torque. Edelbrocks power package makes it easy and streetable. Check out the specs at the right.
Not fast enough? Dick Miller is the Olds race motor authority and builds
motors over 500 C.I. and well over 500 H.P.!

Swaps and Upgrades
Did you know......
The Front subframe for a 67-69 Chevrolet Camaro or
Pontiac Firebird is the same as the 68-74 X-Bodys? Good to know if you need one or are planning to swap out those nasty front
drum brakes. For a detailed explanation and parts list of that swap, go here.
Other parts shared with the 1st generation
Camaro and Firebird are the clutch linkage and pedals, firewall, floor pans and rear axle, although most had the 8.2" ten
bolt and the X-Body's (with the exception of 75 and up, non-V8 cars) came with the 8.5" ten bolt rear end.
Want rear disc brakes too?
The rear disc set-up on the late 70's/early
80's Trans Am and Cadillac Seville are a direct bolt on BUT, you will need to use the master cylinder/proportion valve
from a 4 wheel disc car.
H.E.I. conversion
It's easier then you think. Click below for
a detailed explanation and parts list
Not real fond of the "Big Bumpers" on
your X-Body?
Here's a custom mod to tuck them
in and drop some weight. About 45 lbs front/25 lbs rear.
