I believe you will need olds parts for your olds moters. The good news is most it not all the brackets on a 307 will work on your 350 provided that the options on the engines are the same.

The trick with Oldsmobile accessory brackets is that the water pump length and the pulleys must match the brackets. In other words, you need to transfer everything from the 307 - pump, pulleys, and brackets - to ensure the belts line up. The 350 and 307 are externally identical, so everything swaps easily. The only thing Olds motors have in common with Chevy, Buick, or Pontiac motors is the distributor cap. Well, the Pontiac uses the same starter.

Olds does have the same BOP bellhousing bolt pattern, so an Buick, Pontiac, or Caddy RWD trans made since 1964 will bolt up.
