Marshtonk

I have what was supposed to be a 1971 350 rocket out of a cutlass supreme. I thought it had just number 7 heads but after looking into it more its got #7A heads. The block number is 395558 which your sights Oldsmobile wiki stats was used for both 1968-1970 and 1973-1974 casting numbers the crank has the numbers 393654 stamped on it the blocks been bored +.040 these numbers are on top of the pistons in purple . The number on the pistons underside is 963P will this help me find out what type and who makes them the look like domed pistons not sure ill be posting pics as well

olds 307 and 403

How does the Olds drive train line up? Never done a non GM swap. I love the Olds 350 but have heard the AMC was a very good motor. I know the dog leg heads with the heart shape chambers especially were better than the no quench Olds heads. Unfortunately AMC put the terrible Motorcraft carbs on them.

Never mind all of that stuff -- Put a Toro drivetrain in the back under the hatch!

motor is a 2.5 pontiac iron duke 4 cylinder with a chevy bell housing but i got a better deal on the olds engine thats why im swapping transmission also

Marshtonk

the engine stamping pad number is either 39M231004 or 32M231004

MDchanic

It's 32M - a 1972 motor built in Lansing.

and how do you know it wouldn't be 39 i could just make out the second digit and so does that mean its a block with the windowed deal going on ?

MDchanic

The windowed blocks for '79 have a different casting number on the top at the front (557265 instead of 385558).

Marshtonk

ok so the block is ok then im just worried this guy put good money into not so strong of a block the good blocks are from what 68-72 then ?

Marshtonk

oh wait be cause 7A heads go on a 72duh ok we alredy discussed that [part sorry
