I graduated from HS in 67 and my favorite centerfold was the 2/67 Cars color photo of the Rund Olds (Detroit delaership) W30. So rare that I thought I'd never find one, but found 2 in 1973, each under $2K. As noted above, just get another engine from the boneyard and build it. . .the beauty of the Olds was that they took a basic 98 Luxury Sedan engine and added goodies (cam, ram air, battery in trunk, Tri Carbs) to go fast. The goodies (rare special parts) didn't blow up or wear out, either, unlike the competition whose special parts were things that blew up, L88, Hemi, etc. A friend put an L88 in his 67 Vette and blew it up when driving at 120 miles per hour. That special 6 qt oil pan dried up because the high vol oil pump was too much for it--spun all the bearings.
