I have a an option of buying a 1983 olds cutlass 4 door for a decent price. Ive only really been in the world of ford derby cars. Would these be a decently tough car to buy? has a 302

Most places they now are compacts. Junk unless you do a frame swap but if it's a 302 Chevy v8 and you don't have a engine for full size buy it.

If you're headers aren't cherry red by the end of the night then you didn't try/hit hard enough,

Fill crankcase, cylenders and intake with concrete for extra weight

if it 305 depending on where ya livee that motor and chassis whould be sought after for street stock/pure stock racers frames really soft and often rusted in back behind humps but when i was building and bodying cars i would buy all them i could get ended up owning about 70 of um over my tine of playin in that woeld they alot harder to come by now so in my brain that would be the best place for you to get some money and somebody else to get good use
