Hi friends, I bought an Oldsmobile Holiday Super 88 coupe 394ci here in Argentina, and I want to restore it the better I can.


The engine wasn t working so I removed it and I noted that the 2 cylinder heads are broken.

The numbers are gm 1- 195 -577808 and gm 2-203-577808 and 1 of them has the number of the engine in it.


Did you have this parts? I need to buy them.

I found a rocket 324 cylinder heads from an older olds but they didn t seem similar at the exhaust, is the only thing that is not the same?

Sorry for my english.

PS: is a rebild kit for engine restoration available? piston, rings, etc

 

the crankshaft is the same from older rocket engines with the 394? and the crankshaft bearings?

Here you will find everything you need.

 

http://www.kanter.com/p20-oln.html for engine rebuild kits

You'll have to find used heads

 

Assuming that the heads are cracked, where the cracks are located, and where you are located ( Argentina), it might be easier and a whole lot cheaper to have the cracks professionally welded and machined at a competent machine shop. Parts are relatively easy to find for a rebuild

cheaper than kanter.

but what about quality?

do you know if they are good?

 

I would contact Falcon and ask who the manufacture is. Falcon is a parts place and cheaper seldom means better
