BUILD THREAD 350 Olds engine

[Jim H.]

I recently bought a Oldsmobile 350 motor from 1969. I also bought a set of #7 heads which are in good shape. My question is should I get an Eldebrock intake manifold #2711 I believe or use the A4 intake I have. Don’t have to worry about emissions, running headers, just want more horsepower out of my 84 Hurst/Olds without breaking the bank.

The A4 is as good as the Edel Performer.

As said, no gain with the Performer. The RPM the only one worth spending money on. If it needs an overhaul, Mahle makes a 10cc 1mm ring pack forged pistons in various sizes. DSS also makes a 3cc, 5cc and 12cc forged piston with a 1.5mm ring pack in various sizes.

That’s what I thought but always good to get a second opinion. Thanks
