“COFFEE TALK” 83 cutlass supreme

[1-sic-83]

Yeah I been looking for the egr plate and manual fuel pump block off plate if u can point me in the right direction a link for the site would be really helpful

Looks like a 72 Olds 350, think I see a 7 with a little A. I assume stock, low compression pistons? How small is that billet crank pulley? Does it use regular bolts, the really small underdrive pulley caused cooling and charging issues. Hopefully you have good luck with the Edelbrock carb, many Olds guys especially have not, stay Holley. Hopefully you can get that chrome thermostat housing to seal, a few us had issues. I have had issues sealing anything other than the factory iron water necks on Edelbrock aluminum intakes. It took double gaskets and sealant even with the Billet aluminum Robmc water neck. Cool build.

Can u send me the link for the egr block off plate an I’m not sure on the size for the pulley but no it dnt take regular size bolts I had to get round Allen head bolts for the hardware

I included the link above. I used a March pulley they sell separate, bigger diameter and lined up with the crank pulley.

Here’s the inner diameter of the pulley an the motor is I believe at 80 olds motor has a 3b

Even with .040" head gaskets and stock 14cc dish pistons .020" below deck, with those early 350 heads you will have at least 8.6 to 1 without any milling. With a mild cam, it will perform decently. Be glad you don't have the shitty flowing, crack prone 3A heads.

That crank pulley will need at least a 100 amp alternator and will run hotter. This one should work, depending on what length water pump you have, Oldsmobile has 4 lengths. There is no 4.25" water pump, probably for the 6" pump probably already on that motor.

Where do I look to see what heads I have because they are stock along with the block

 

[olds307 and 403]

No, those heads are 1972, the big #7 and little "A" above #1 and #8 spark is a 1972 head. Different # on different year motors. Those 7a heads have a much better flowing exhaust port and 7cc smaller chamber than the stock 3A heads that came stock on the 3B block. You may need the 2 groove pulley March or CVF sells, just noticed you have the two groove pulleys.
