The "small" block Olds' get overlooked by most Olds guys including myself. The sturdiest Oldsmobile engine is the 350 Diesel block but that is a "for hard-core drag racing" engine, not for your application. 1968 thru 1972 are the best 350 engines, all had cast nodular iron crankshafts, very good but a notch under the 330 Olds forged steel crank. Another option for you would be to slip a 403 short block in using your #7 heads. I like the 403's and have had great luck with the one I raced for 4 years with no problems. Nice torque for a "small" block. Later, Ken
