My experience is that a boat is a boat, and I have owned quite a few. The Small Block Olds (SBO) is a good engine and can be built to outperform just about any other small block of that era, that's my bias talking there. But in stock form you are probably looking a only 250hp or so. The rear gear ratio of most B bodies was 2.73:1 so you aren't going to see any tire skalding performance but they are excellent highway cruisers. I would say you could expect similar performance to your Caprice. I like to see anyone save an Oldsmobile from the crusher so why don't you buy it and build it........
