"Yuse" guys are driving away the elky crowd. When I was in the Army a New Yorker and guy from Florida were having a big discussion whether Coke is called "pop" or "soda?" They asked me what it's called. I said "soda pop."
An ex Oldsmobile racer that I've known for 20+ years had a set for sale at the Miller Oldsmobile meet, $10. They had small welds on one corner, no big deal, unless they're going on a show car. I thought about buying them but I really don't need them plus I figured hopefully someone that needed them would buy them. I gave the elco guy Chuck his name and number. Chuck pm'd me and said they were welded on the frame so he passed. The ones I saw, a little grinding would have cleaned them up.
Yah it didn't help that the 307 went completely backwards with the swirl port version. Less compression and tiny ports didn't help the Olds V8 reputation.
I honestly love the Olds 307 engine. For what they are they are great.
Peepolz iz so tupid
I have only had a lot of experience with the early 307, great all around motor. I know everyone who complained about how gutless the 307 was, the later swirl port versions were the culprit. Everyone hates the 260 as well, basically a swirlport 307 with a smaller bore and Dualjet. Add better gears and exhaust, also not half bad even in my 3750 pound 88 Cutlass.I'd take a 307 over a 305 any day. Who doesn't want another 2 inches?!
i see what you did there..stay outta the pool it'll be fine..I'd take a 307 over a 305 any day. Who doesn't want another 2 inches?!
