Olds 350 Motor Info

The casting numbers on the block/heads indicate that's a '70 Olds 350 engine - nice canidate for a build-up. If you decide to sell it, let me know.

The #6 heads were used on EVERY 350 Olds sold in 1970, including the W-31 (with the larger valves installed). Do not confuse these with the 6A heads used in the 1980s.

Thanks for all the info guys. I appreciate the help. I'm thinking of buying this one to build (or have built for me) and keeping the original in the shed...
