524 bbo & 470 sbo
If you have questions feel free to call Wayne Joss @ Joss Engines in Lethbridge AB 403-320-7272. Wayne has built Olds engines for other forum members & Olds racers in Alberta & he is happy to discuss the builds with you.
My engines are not the biggest, not the strongest, not the fastest. They simply are pump gas friendly big displacement engines.
Both engines run 11.2:1 compression with victor intakes and Wayne Joss ported Edelbrock heads. The 524 has a 1050 dominator with a solid lifter cam. The 470 has an 850 AED carb & uses a flat tappet cam. Both engines would make more power with more compression & roller cams but I enjoy using 94 octane pump gas.
The 524 is actually 523.7 cid & measures 4.280" x 4.550". The crank is a factory steel 455 in an irrigation block (Note not all 455 blocks are suited to this over bore; please sonic check your block prior to trying this).
It made 662hp @ 4900 & 704 TQ @ 4875 on the engine dyno when new.
The 470 is actually 469.4 cid & measures 4.168" x 4.300". The crank is a factory steel 425 in a diesel D block.
It made 555hp @ 5450 and 552TQ @ 5100 to the ground on the chassis dyno.
Some will be surprised by the long stroke of 4.30" in the 470 small block. If you need details on how to make that work talk to Wayne.
Best Performance from these engines is
1972 442 524cid BBO 10.89 @ 122.5mph @ 3800' with a 1.47 60' 3600 lbs car & driver 30" slick
1987 442 470cid SBO 11.37 @ 119.4mph @ 5350' with a 1.60 60' 3975 lbs car & driver 26"drag radial. The car has gone 11.33 but at a much slower 116.4 mph on a 27" drag radial. Best 60' ever was a 1.52.
Both cars run T400 transmissions. 4200 stall in the 72 race car & a 3500 stall in the street 87 442.
If I had to choose between the two engines I would build the SBO. I have plans for a 500 cid version of my existing engine that will absolutely rock. Stay tuned.
I hope some of you find this information useful.

My car isn't much but it runs good
Motor is a 455 built by Danny Lattimore-I don't know what is in it
850 Carb and Victor manifold
out of the box Edelbrocks
2in Hooker headers
MSD ignition w/crank trigger
ATI damper
ATI 9in converter
ATI T 400 w/trans brake
custom drive shaft
9in Ford rear end
Aluminum center section w/4.44 lightened gears
31X14 Hoosiers DO-5 compound 13lbs + or - of air
65 A body back halved
its hot here but last run was
60---1.350
330---4.0939
660---6.458
103.47 mph
Never ran 1/4 but has been as fast as 6.35
I bought this car from Jeff Smith in Iowa several years ago
I'll see if I can find out the engine particulars.

This is my Personal build. It is pump gas but a little on the hot side for a "street" application.

Twin J Racing's 461
My motor is nothing to crazy.
The short Block the normal work done to block .030 over line hone pistons .010 down in the hole ARP main studs, and rod bolts and line hone. A stock crank, stock rods, Sealed Power L2323F30, BHJ harmonic balancer. and a WJ the wheel all balanced up. Running a Lunati solid roller cam #51805 lift at valve .563 duration at .050 244 avertised duration 304 lobe separation 110, and a Hex adjust Roller timming chain. Melling HV oil pump Bilet oil pump shaft, Moroso oil pan and A custom two peace timming cover.
First set of heads J (I know now Junk) fully ported and cleaned up with Mildon valves cut down .060 I think comp cams full roller rockers 1.6 with these heads and the felpro head gaskets I get 10.1.
Second Set of heads Edelbrock new style cleaned up porting good valve job cut down .080 same rockers cometic .027 head gaskets gets me 11.1
Torker intake on both set up with speed demon 850 msd Digital 6-Plus box with msd distribtor, hvc coil, and Taylor wires E3 plugs on both.
the Heavy car.
75 Lemans 3825# with me. Ultimate Converter TH350 w/manual valve body 373 gear 29.5X10.5X15 slicks
Iron heads Low 11.90 high 11.80
Edelbrock heads low 11.60 high 11.50 best of 11.48
Now as some of you know I've had a few problems with my short block so Ive changed it to a fresh one. The same thing only hasn't been abused for 11 plus years fresh everything (fresh used parts). the only things different are the oil pan Milodon and ATI flexplate. Some day Im making a coffee table out of my old one.
Thats about it have a new motor in the works but thats top secrect for now.
Thanks for reading

avoid I-90 its torn up from chicago to elgin. You should probably let folks know on rop to avoid i-90. at night its down to one lane for night work. traffic jams occur on a sunday morning sometimes lol. IM not on ROP but pass that info allong. I88 is a better alternative . Or rt 20 to rt72 ehich is the away i take. dave "Cutlassfreak" and i are camping out so we will set some spots aside.

Pump Gas 468- 10.8:1
Neeley asked me to post this. It is a street/ strip car, and the engine build is pretty hardcore as Olds go. Move the entry if you want, that's why I don't post here.
Big thanks to Frank at TR Performance in Beltsville, MD. They're a new shop, and I got the 1st piece out. Frank is a great guy, a professional machinist, and has been building serious Olds engines most of his life.
Rewind to January of this year. I had had enough of my car sitting broken in the garage. It's a father/son project that I wanted to get back on the road before the old man kicks the bucket, so I could get a picture of the car with 3 generations (me, my dad, and my daughter). I approached Frank with my goal of a pump gas 468. I had a block, stick crank, 1st gen E-brock heads, an old Torker, a 750 Demon, and all the tin-work. That's when he started. "Well, let's see what I've got around here" and "How do you feel about aluminum rods?" I knew things were about to get serious. He pulled a crank out from under the bench, and some rods off the shelf. "we could.....", and here's what I got:
F block shot peened, punched .060 over, align honed/bored, 4.185
425 steel crank, 4.25" stroke offset ground to Chevy pin, internally balanced
BME 7.2" forged aluminum rods, Chevy big end, .990 little
CP Bullet pistons, BO-8070, 1.25" compression height, .990 floating pin, low tension rings
J&S 5 main Halo (I know, I know)
.060 Cometic MLS head gaskets
1st gen E-brock heads cut to 69.4cc, 5 angle valve job, stock valves and springs
BTR cam, .491/.510 236/242 110 LSA
Erson/Morel hyd. roller lifters
Purple Modildo roller rockers
9.3" pushrods
Moroso deep pan
Melling HV pump (60 psi cold, haven't had it warm yet)
the old Torker
HEI gutted to work with MSD
Speed Demon 750, mech. secondaries
ATI neutral balance 7" damper
American Powertrain custom neutral balance flywheel
10.8:1 compression
Thanks to:
Frank Trimble at TR Performance (overall build, crank,rods, and front plate)
Bill Travato at BTR Performance (pistons, cam, head gaskets, timing pointer)
Mark Remmel (lifters)
Jim at J&S Machine (halo girdle)
Todd at Guy Mancini's Machine (head work)

Fleming the nut don't fall far from the tree---Frankie's Father got him started in the right direction when he was in diapers......I have known the whole family most of my (their) life and you will never find any better people. Everything they ever had was always done perfect and never a corner cut........I would have never bought my first 66 Olds 442 new if it had not been for the influence of Frankie's father. These are good people.

Completely hand built 1957 371 J2 Olds..... Not one piece of this engine came from GM other than the valve covers in first shot..... They have since been changed to a CNC'd replica in billet alum
