Shooting a poll out here,
Just wondering how many guys have SBO, and how many have BBO.
Cheers
Eric

 

You missed the 260 and 403.

 

Yes I did, It allowed only 4 options. So I went with those. Maybe the guys with 260's and 403's can post here.
I'd like to see how many SBO's guys their are here at the moment TBH.
Please take the poll guys.
Cheers
Eric

 

... And 330 and 425.

- Eric

 

And some of us have multiples. 400E, 400G, (2) 455F's, 455Fa.

 

I have a stock Rocket 350 in my 1969 Cutlass S and a toronado 455 in my 1970 442 Convertible.

 

260 and 350. Eventually an improved 350 and 403 stroker.

 

One with a 350 and a second with a 350 to be replaced with a 455

 

im strictly a 350 guy.

 

Looks like the BBO are out weighing the SB's at the moment. Thanks for posting guys. Hope to hear from more of you .
Cheers
Eric

 

I have a 66 with a 330.

You left out those of us with multiple cars


4 BBO cars & 1 BBO powered GMC
2 SBO powered cars.

 

My JS1 still has the original 425 in it, however, I'm in the process of doing an LS swap. Ha! Just kidding, lol!

 

70 Cutlass Convertible w/350, 70 Cutlass Post w/455

 

I've got multiples as do others, 330's to 455's. I like them all but am partial to the big blocks, early 400, 425 & 455.

I know you can get your 350's moving along great, I thought I read somewhere here that you were thinking about going BBO.
Good to hear your still into the 350's.
Cheers
Eric

 

And the 394 , 370 , 324 , and 303 .

 

350 in my 74 Omega

Right on Charlie, mark me up for a 324 first generation.... Tedd

 

403 with bb heads here! (Voted 350, close enough)

 

There was a time I had both a BBO ('69 Toro) and SBO, and later two SBOs ('70 Cutlass Supreme 'vert), now I'm down to just one SBO. At the time I owned the Toro, I had another 455 parked next to it in my garage: '76 T/A 4-spd. I miss those big blocks.

 

Put me down for all of the above (except the doorstop 260). Add the 215 to the list also.

 

You need to add in the 425 also.

 

76olds i would build a bbo for a frankeinstine build like my current 355. Im only gonna go so fast on a tight budget with out cubes. Once im done and cannot make my 355 faster then i wil go BBO. Atleast i would be going BBO once i had no choice lol. Still not giving up on my 355.

 

Can you get into the 11s with your current displacement?

 

350 bored and stroked to about a 380.....with BBO aluminum heads

 

I didn't see an option for 468 with greater than 1hp / cubic inch so I voted the next best thing and put 455...

*abused

 

Oldsmobiledave. I just might. I'm gonna shed about 200 lbs from the car this winter and try a looser converter. That should put me into the deep 12's like 12.2 ish maybe lower. Then ported heads will go on and I think it might be realisitc to get an 11.9x Right now it's 12.45 with a 1.75 60 ft. Car weighs 3400 with me in it.

 

I voted...Slightly over stock V code 455

 

I went 11.13 with 355 cubes.......I'm sure copper will be in the 11s soon enough with 355 cubes as well.

 

Don was that a chebby? What car?

 

3 with 455's and 1 with a 350

 

two 72 Cutlass s one of each. 350/455

 

Chevy? Hell no.

It is a 355 Olds with big block iron heads ported by the Freak, hydraulic flat tappet cam, and 10.5:1 compression. It resides in my 80 Cutlass. It last saw the drag strip in 2014. I upgraded a few things and it is ready for the dyno now, just need to find the time.

 

Thanks Don i wanted everyone to know.

 

 

Hey now, my little 260 is only mildly pathetic.

 

I have three 350s. Two in my cars pictured and one in a beater Pontiac.

 

But the 215 is rated at 185 HP in 4bbl form.

Keep in mind that's only a 2600 lb car.

 

Two 350 equipped cars in the garage right now, one car will be leaving to be replaced by one with a 260 which will be upgraded to a 455 before long.
