It's big and heavy, probably over 5,000 lbs and not a good choice for a drag car for that reason. I would look for an Olds Omega instead if you want an Olds of the mid 70's for drag racing as it is an X body and as such is basically a Nova/Camaro underneath. Also, are you sure it has a 307 in it? I would think it would have nothing smaller than a 350. The 307 in that car would mean you needed a calender, not a stopwatch to time it down the dragstrip!
