There is a reason they were the premiere engine for tree stump puller applications. Small bore, big stroke, small heads=average horsepower, high torque not what you need in Super Stock. Pontiacs are bad enough, Buicks with their big bore smaller strokes are better.

It might not have been the best of all time, but Bob Dodson and Danny Lattimore's SS/NA, 455 Delta 88 took Indy by storm one year in the 80's. That was one neat Super Stock Olds, fast and it looked like Grandmom going for groceries. Lattimore's 455 Cutlass S 4 speed SS/K car was super neat to watch pulling big wheelstands off the line. Clean and fast. Two great Olds from the past!

Danny Lattimore's cars were written up in SS&DI--about Jan 1980 iirc.
