In my misspent youth, I'd never bet the pink slip untill I got a good
look under the other guys hood, and if the hood latch was "broken" an oil
pan viewed from underneath gave away an L88 (think 500 ponies with minor
mods) on more than one occasion.  The Buick Supercharged engine bolts in
pretty easily on the Oldsmobiles, and it's a favorite conversion with the
GM inclined in my neck o de woods.
