do olds w34 455's bring any interest?
We recently bought a 79 trans am and it has a w34 toronado 455 in it, we plan on putting a ls1 motor in it and wanted to see ig there is any interest in these motors. It seems to be a powerfull engine but we arent in to oldsmobiles so we dont know a whole lot about them, thanks

There are no external numbers that will prove this is a W34. In fact, the primary difference from any other Toro motor is the camshaft. Of course, any 1970 Toro motor has big valve heads and 10.25 compression, so even a base motor isn't a bad thing.

Right, and value-wise they pretty much worth the same. If it was a GT, it was definitely a '70. If the distributor is original (which also can't be proven) the W34 will have a 442 distributor not the Toro one. Just an indicator.
