The engine has plenty of life left and i know getting rid of the awful exhaust design these had originally will boost power by a lot

That's only 135HP engine and if you managed to get a 5% increase your talking 6-7 HP and that would be @ upper rpm.

As an Oddball myself I want a 5.7L Olds Diesel Elco Despite the Rep...

Hmm Have you tried any of the common name brands that make headers?

Are you sure you don't want a design that flows out of 8 cylinders?

I'd like to point out *Ahem* 6 Will blow away 8.
There I said it.

Eh ?!? Maybe if the 8 is an Olds diesel .... :mrgreen:

I guess I'm an oddball too, though. I've always thought the Olds diesel would be fun. So even there ....
