hello from vienna/austria

...my name is simon, and i am living in vienna, the capital of austria.

now i'm 44 years old, but my first american v8 i had with 20.(completely f'd up dodge coronet 500, 67' coupe) loved it :-))
then came a mini cooper followed by a 71'impala. my 71 buick skylark custom i had afterwards.
that beam maschine was followed by the car i now have:

---> a 76 buick skylark, small and nice.(original with the 260 olds)
---> what a boring engine!

then i upgraded to 3.08 posi, th200r4, and a 307 7A headed with comp cams xe256h and holley 390 4 barrel(all without any emission//smog stuff) , without cat and flowing single exhaust.

it ran not so bad, but that engine broked a week ago. (i dont want to fix that engine any more)
now i got an olds 350 from a 1978er seville(#557752-3B), with the 3A heads and #16 intake.

i read the last week a lot of stuff about olds-engines and their differences. at least i am a little bit confused.

NOW the question: i will rebuild the 350 maschine and would like to know if its possible to put the complete roller-equipment and xe256h cam from the 307 into the 350?
does it work without complikations?
and yes, i will go with the original 3a heads ;-).

thanks a lot for informations :-)

greetings, simon.

Welcome Simon, post some pics of your car. I'm not sure about the roller setup, so I'm going to defer to the others.
