Olds oldie

I've been interested in Olds engines since 1962 when I purchased a 303 (all apart) to be the powerplant for a T-bucket. It was sold to help fund the build-up of a '56 324 (3/4-full cam, JE pistons, full balance, head porting, 6 Ford-Holley 94s, Edelbrock log, Mallory Mini-mag) in 1964. This engine, with a '54 Hydramatic, is presently powering a Grabowsky inspired '16 T roadster-pickup.
My present project is a '70 Cutlass Supreme (frame-on "driver"). Owned a '74 4-4-2, a '81 98, a '82 98 during the '80s, '90s, & '00s. I've got a 307 roller to rebuild this winter, and have the 2004R's from both 98s, just in case I need better fuel economy in the Cutlass in the future.
Been a mechanic for 50 years, Automotive Instructor for 28 years and now retired to enjoy playing with this stuff (among other things).

Yeh, I know. Just have to learn how to post pictures. Have lots of the roadster, not many of the Cutlass.
