Welcome aboard! I've had my share of Olds and Pontiacs too, but I was over 40 before I finally snagged a 455P. Many 400s came before. We had a 72 Cutlass for 22 years.
I know absolutely nothing about your car myself, just 97-03 and very little. But you'll find this place real helpful. Enjoy your hi powered FWD. Its wierd, ain't it?
