Today i find for my sorprise a olds custom cruiser 1983 with 307and th2004r.

The transmission is fried....only put first gear....

Engine appears to be very original ,come with electronic quadrajet. exist

My question is....exist for th2004r a COMPLETE rebuild kit¿?, exist a shifkit for this transmission¿

307 is a good choice¿?

thanks waldo.

Yes, the early 307 has decent power and is reliable. I would change the nylon cam gear with a new timing set as those tend to flake apart. There is complete overhaul kits and the Transgo shift kit with the billet servo works well.

They are easy enough to replace. The 260 specific Turkey Tray intake gasket is a different part number.

I used aviation sealant or gaskasinch around the intake ports, not necessary but I do it. What is necessary is RTV around the 4 corner cooling ports, both sides of the gaskets. I also use a tall bead of RTV instead of the supplied rubber end seals. The bead must be a 1/2" tall to seal the end seals on the wide Olds intake manifold.

Thanks, I change the intake gasket , but in the midle of intake has a oil leak......very little

The rare situation is... before change the gasket when start the engine the engine has a oil combustion for a little seconds.....Always I pressume has a valve guide seals.....but....now ....has not combustion oil when start........It is possible to leak from intake and go to the cylinder?
