\"1983<\/a><\/p>\n

Tommy Boshers<\/a> and Joel McMillan<\/a> gave this 1983 Hurst\/Olds<\/a> a new life on Detroit Muscle<\/a>. The car originally came with a 307 ci Oldsmobile V8 and 200-4R four-speed automatic transmission. Tommy and Joel swapped those for a 455 ci big-block V8 built by Mondello Performance capable of 540 lb-ft (732 Nm) of torque and a Monster Transmission 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission<\/a>. They also swapped the factory rear end for a Quick Performance 9-inch rear end with a 3.50 ratio. Tommy and Joel installed a full Ridetech air suspension controlled by their RidePRO E5 air ride control<\/a>. They included Ridetech’s StreetGrip swap bars, drop spindles, and StrongArms control arms. They replaced the factory brakes with Wilwood six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes. Those are covered by Weld wheels with Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires (235\/40, 255\/45). Read more about the build and parts used on the project page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
