If I remember correctly - they started using up those Olds 403's in many of the 1978 model year cars......and they were less desirable.
Sounds right. O-403s were notorious. Essentially a bored 350 block IIRC, and as such took so much out of the cylinder walls without designing adequate cooling that the thing had to have a freaking Cessna prop on the front to keep the engine cool.



Still want one, though..
