Can anyone please direct me in finding a manual or a book with the best illustrations and/pictures to rebuild a 350 engine? I pulled one out of my 72 Olds F85. Thank you

Welcome. You'll get a better response by starting your own thread on this. Your best choice for stock rebuild info is a factory Chassis Service Manual, available used on ebay. Chapter 6 has all the engine information.

You just responded to your own post. Look at post #2.

Here is a thread discussing the Oldsmobile Engine Modification and Tuning Guide. It's definitely worth having if you don't want to do a bone stock rebuild:

The problem would be getting ahold of it now. The E-bay link is no longer good and a quick search doesn't pop up with any promising leads.

I guess you can go straight to the horse's mouth.

Having this won't hurt.

Here's a copy of a 1970 engine assembly manual that I downloaded from the Wild About Cars website before they started charging for admission. See attachment below.

The OP is asking about rebuilding a STOCK 1972 350 2bbl motor. I strongly recommend sticking with the correct year CSM for that. Unless the OP wants to build a higher output engine, follow the factory procedures.
