Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
You need to educate yourself with the Olds experts and what the cost involved will be in a rebuilt running drive train. If your intent is to race the car in Pure Stock Drags....I strongly urge you to rebuild the other engine - leave the CE block on a stand in the garage....for later use. If you hurt it, where are you going to find another?
Olds engine rebuild and parts are much more expensive than a Chevy. Do it right the first time. Dan

Dan </div></div> I am torn as I don't want to spend money on parts not originally for the car, but as you mention, I would hate to "window" the W31 warranty block:-) I am more focused on being able to drive it than Race it. One idea I have is to prepare the warranty engine and if I decide to go PSMCDR racing maybe build the extra engine and transmission to risk in future. Ryan
