New Olds owner from Austria (Europe)
Hello everybody and greetings from Austria (Europe). I own my first Olds for 2 month now. It´s a ´66 cutlass f85 with the 330 and the "shitty" 2gear transmission (will change that 
).
Last week I started the restauration. This year the interiour and the body,
next year the suspension, motor and transmission.
...and I already read the engine book of Bill Trovato... interesting but most of the topics are for the stronger motors than mine
It will take a while but which setup would you refer to my motor (the motor is a 250hp original-nothing done yet motor): intake manifold and carburator...
My goal are nice 300+ hp, not that important right now but I´m intersted in what you think of it and what you would prefer. Pictures later that week, my camara is .....
....
Thank you, Daniel

Hey Daniel,
welcome to co!
I love the 66s
I'm sure some of the engine experts here will answer your questions! Having a 330 in my 66, as well I'm very interested in your build, as there are not many 330 builds one can follow.
looking forward to seeing the pictures, I like the f85 trim best on the 66

By the way, I converted mine from the 2-speed Jet-a-Way to a TH400, not as easy as a TH350 swap, but if you have one available, it's also a possible way to go!

Welcome to CO
Lots of European members on the site. Oldsmobiles are loved world wide. The 330 can easily be made into a 300+ hp ride and with a turbo 35 tranny you'll be set. Check out the small block engine forum for more info and ask specific questions and you'll get the answers here
