I'm trying to decide what to do about a motor now. Here's what she looks like with the new sneakers and wheels.

Glad your back!!

Not enough Green Cutlass S’s around here:-)

A stock rebuild would not be too crazy costly. (I got a little carried away:-)

Thanks. We all have bad days once in a while lol. I'm thinking stock rebuild for this one. We'll see what happens. Carried away is what I get with my other cars sometimes. Here's to some nice dyno numbers for you.

I have spent a few more evenings gathering, organizing, searching, ticking off boxes in my list of items needed for Dyno day.

The only show stopper right now is my starter, if anyone has an 1108348 1969 Oldsmobile V8-350 High Compression and V8-400 core to rebuild I would rather have a numbers starter rebuilt........ please look in your stashes.

More and more small items to find or buy, or get ready.

I bought a numbers starter core but it won’t be rebuilt and ready in time, so I bought a NAPA starter too (for sale soon 100 CAD)

Long fuel filter, dip stick, etc, etc.

The only show stopper now is flywheel bolts, the ones the engine builder ordered were flexplate.... he is swapping them for proper ones.

The heat is on!!!!

Picked up fuel filter, Clutch and flywheel Arp bolts, rotor, starter

Picked up Short pipes flanged for the exhaust manifolds for Dyno

Picked up my original alternator rebuilt/restored.

It’s all coming together.

I am really proud to be taking my W31 Olds to FJ Smith for break in and dyno tune.
