Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

[RamblerDealer]

Ryan, just reading to catch up on your progress. A couple of things, when I'm at the cottage next week I will go get that rocket 350 for
you, it may have the carb you are looking for. It does have the cool valve covers with Oldsmobile stamped into them. Just a question, why
would any one ever use a heat riser for anything? They warp intakes and carbs, fill the ports with crap, overheat and split the porcelains
in the spark plugs, cause restriction that is hard on fuel distribution and balance inside the intake, and just cost horse power. You will never drive the car when it is cold out, and it probably would not make any difference if you did. Spend the effort on the ID of the
manifolds were they exit to the down pipes and the id of the pipe flange were it all bolts together. If you wanted I could get my friend
Kenny Parkman to put your heads on the flow bench with the exhaust manifolds. That may help in camshaft selection, My guess is there is a
big imbalance with the manifolds bolted on and the exhaust specs may be critical in this type of restrictor motor.
