Hey
So, I have a 1971 Olds Cutlass with a 1974 350 Olds engine. Finally runs well after adding full length flowtech headers, 2.5 inch full pypes exhaust, and a Holley Double Pumper carb. (idk what cfm i havnt checked the numbers yet)
The previous owner said he added a mild cam, and there was also already a holley street dominator intake on it.

Any clue as to how much power that could be putting down? Ive got a 4-speed and from what the previous owner tells me the stock automatic gears which should be 2.7? somethings?

Anyway I was browsing craigslist and found a 71' Olds 350 engine which he said was out of a 71 cutlass convert supreme. Said it was out of car for 12-15 years and ran when he pulled it. So, I got it for $250.

I have the block number in my garage which I will grab and its got #7 heads on it.

Your probably all asking why I picked up this engine. Well because I have 3 chevy small blocks in my garage as well that I could have dropped in, but I believe an Olds engine belongs in an Olds. Plus being at my local car shows with the only Olds cutlass is cool and I love when people are like "thats an Olds engine" and Im just like yupp wht'd you expect. HA

But anyway I figured it could hurt to have an extra Olds engine laying around. And Im 22 and want to learn about all of this. So Im making this thread to take pictures of the tear down and get some guidance from you more experienced guys!

 

That's a good price for that motor. "7 heads are pretty good...I'm using them.
