The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 represents Oldsmobile’s commitment to high-performance vehicles. In 1970, Oldsmobile infused the 442 W-30 with distinctive elements, including a functional fiberglass hood with air scoops, W-30 decals, and specialized suspension components.
The heart of the 442 W-30 lay in its 455 cubic-inch V8 engine, enhanced by the W-30 package components. These included a special camshaft, an aluminum intake manifold, and a forced-air induction system. Also, it achieves an acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 5.5 seconds and a quarter-mile time of around 13.8 seconds.

Spent the whole of yesterday working on my wife's friend's Ford Escape with a 3.0 V6 in it. Oil leaks, and it needed a tune-up. Shop quoted her $971 just to do the valve cover gaskets, which involves removing the intake plenum. Good times. I did the gaskets and installed iridium plugs for $350. I had also done some work on it a couple weeks ago. The shop had quoted her $803, and I did the job for $300. She definitely appreciated the savings. Anyways, while I was in there, I noticed something that made me laugh. Definitely wasn't expecting this:
