Early OLDS rockets lets see some engines show us your goodies

Here's one

 

Here is my fresh 324 right out of the machine shop. .040 over pistons and .010 crank and mains. Runs great! My 4 door holiday hardtop is getting new floors and will be reunited with this engine soon.

 

hopped up 1956 324 Olds pushed the C/GMR to 162.10 at 2010 Speed Week, didn't break record but we had fun.

not too shabby

 

im not sure how good the pic will end up, but my buddies t-roadster has a rocket punched out to a 324, tri-power setup, and studebaker valvetrain

 

'55 top end on a bored 303" mild cam. Forever under construction.

 

are you sure about that?

got specifics?

 

ya caught me, im a liar!





haha, but no i dont have specifics, thats just what i've been told. if its wrong then sorry, i dont know these rockets very well. sure looks good in his kit-car though

 

This is my 53 Olds Super 88 2 door. It is setup just as it was back in 1955-6 era. 3 Ford Strombergs on stock 303ci. Dual exhuasts. Stick on column. Low gear ratio rearend. Nice sounding pipes. Not the same car as my 52 in the Avatar.

Not exactly an Olds but going on my SBC 'Fauxsmobile' to be installed in my 46 Old sedanette.

 

wtf

 

Here's the bottom of my 394, its still on its way down once its a pile of pieces I'll start it back on its way up. Not too purdy unless you're a mechanic. Doubtfull it ever will be very purdy on the outside, its going in a mechanics coupe and it has a hood.
The full list comming soon as I sort it all out but I doubt anyone will be very impressed.

 

I'm already impressed. Can't wait to see the final product.......Woody

 

The chevy covers would be better !!!

 

This is my 324 rocket motor out of my 1956 Oldsmobile

 

Here's my 1957 J2, 371 Engine display. I actually have a remote start on it and it turns(rotates) ..Crank, pully's, fan, belts...etc. I have an electric motor hidden in the oil pan that runs it.

 

^ Well.....if a guy was wanting garage art, that's about the all I would want

 

Should finish my teardown today. Almost everything looks good so far. I may have a cylinder that's going to be a problem but that's why you tear into one before you bolt in it I guess.

But it is going to be a screamer when it hits the street. I got real lucky on this one.

 

Heres mine a 49, in my roadster.Gary

 

That's pretty awesome 57olds.

 

Whats the extra compressor like finned heads on the power steering pump doc olds?

thanks , danny

 

These are a disgrace and and a slap in the face to this thread.

 

Im building a display like that with a junk block and a bunch of nos speed parts i have.--Will be pretty killer when im done.

 

What are the virtues of these engines?

 

i have a chance to get a '59 394. but how can i tell it from a '59 371 engine? this thread has been amazing! thanks for any info!

 

Boat loads of torque in low to mid range rpm's that are common for the street.

With a stock 455 and a turbo 400 I ran a 12.07 at 110 all under 5,200 rpm.

Later with a cam and heads it ran an 11.70 at 123 mph all under 5,600 rpm.

The biggest problem has been traction for the first eight mile in all my runs.

Does this information help?

 

Hey Fellas I found this rocket vodeo completely by mistake. But I dig the music and it does have some onteresting Olds motors. Exotic, nothing like we would be posting but interesting anyway.

Enjoy

I have tried to link this but I am somehow missing it if someone wants to link this for me it will be quicker. Less cookies/load time.

 

dig the 'Stones Factory Girl song
but somehow I think the music those engines make is a bit more raukus

 

Yea I was hoping to hear one sing myself.
