Um, it's not really a clean shop, it's so small it has to stay organized or there is no place to work. Occasionally the HOA gets their knickers in a knot over projects & where they sit. Apparently mine are worse than others who have theirs all over the front yard. So the MC sleeps in the garage and the wagon gets the patio. If I had a place like SBG I'd spread out my workspace too. Nothing like having enough room to work.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; September 11, 2013, 02:05 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

No one makes an intake for Oldsmobile 7A heads. The late model 7A heads incorporate swirl port technology to go along with the roller cam. The 5A heads used on earlier 307s had larger rectangular ports where the 7A heads have a square port. The gasket is the same for either. Edelbrock makes an intake for the older rectangular port heads. In the picture you can see the size of the port opening in the gasket compared to the port in the head.

During the search for an intake I came across a screaming deal on a Grand National 200-4r transmission rebuilt to hold 600hp. It cam with 2700+/- stall torque converter and a warranty that starts when the transmission is installed.
The car has a 200-4r in it now and I decided to keep it that way because with the dual-pattern bell housing I can use the 455 Olds motor or convert to a Chevy engine.Last edited by 68scott385; May 28, 2014, 01:14 PM.

When I got my flatbed, it had a flat cam.. I put in cam, lifters, intake and headers.. The lifter valley looked like that.. With the drain plug out, oil filter off, I used a parts cleaning brush and diesel.. Put it all together.. One thing I stupidly did not do was clean the exhaust crossover in the head of the coked oil.. That lasted 50,000 hard hauling miles before the pushrod ate the lifter and cam.. The valley was looking like I just cleaned it.. Used NAPA oil or Walmart oil..
I will never use Pennzoil or Quaker State..
