the olds 350 won me over when i saw how the lifters work and how easy they are to replace. GENIUS!!! especially for a humble body man with no business being under the hood. :lol: but im also very cheap, and the chevy wins that battle.

You mean the non adjustable rockers right? Or the fact you don't have to mess with the distributor to get at them (lifters) .

You go into a parts store, or a Speed Shop and ask for "Performance Goodies" for an Oldsmobile, and that's the look the guy behind the counter will have on his face. If you're doing a correct restoration, and it had an Olds engine, stay with it. If you want performance and dependability, go with the SBC. Parts are cheap, and you can get them anywhere.
Sorry, sometimes my brains evil side jumps out and gets me in trouble. .........mickey-d :lol:

That's really true... I got to drive around a 69 Cutlass S for short while that only had an "RV" cam in it, and an edlebrock intake and carb on it, and the amount of torque it had felt like my old 89 454 powered GMC 3500
And naturally that had nothing to do with the fact that the truck weighed TWICE as much as the Cutlass...
