I am a newbie.

I have a 31 Ford roadster That has a 303 Olds. Engine. I built it in 1959, drove it a few yrs. until starting family, then put it in storage until current. The engine has locked up, so I bought a 371 Olds. with a B&M hydro trans. to install. I joined this group in case I need any Olds. Info, as nobody puts Olds. Engines in hot rods anymore!

Welcome to Classic Olds. Sounds like a very cool hot rod. Glad you are going back with a Rocket 88 engine. Send photos when you can. Larry

Welcome aboard, That 371 and a B&M (slant pan) will surprise the bowtie rodders. Over 300 HP and a load of torque. That puts class in a classic, can't wait for pictures... Lost in the fifties.... Tedd
