Just curious about possible HP
So when I bought the cutlass I got alot of receipts on machine work and parts that were added to the car. Ill give a list shortly but also im confused on some of the numbers on the motor itself.
before I get into this im not sure this is the thread to post it all on or am I wrong?

Welcome aboard Gene.
The numbers you provided indicate that you have a 1972 Oldsmobile 350 with its correct heads...
The last 6 numbers on engine block stamped not the raised numbers. Will match your vin's last 6 digits if its the born in engine. (192139)
Will need to see entire vin number to confirm which 350 you have/had. Stock HP ranged from 160-200 NET. That's as good as it got for 350s after 1970.
As far as build up or trying to get a handle on what was already done, probably better to open another thread in the general discussion section, etc.
