Aninversary year 1957 371 Oldsmobile..Is this rare?

Damn straight......Here at Ross Racing Engines we are always developing pieces and parts so we can play hard with vintage style powerplants.

Heres what I think should have came out in 1957 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Oldsmobile 371 cubic inch golden rocket!

Now that's Bad Ass!! This auto industry keeps amazing me. About 6 years ago I had my hands on the Indy all aluminum A.M.C. motor. Talk about an odd Duck. So what yours looks like is all machined Billet for Race only unless I just don't see the water jacket windows. So how many of those do you have over in the corner? What are your planes with it?

very nice!!

 

Holy shit! Man is that beautiful. Is it cast or cut out of billet? Either way it still looks like it was a lot of cutting.

This one is just for race..... Capabilities to do a water block are there....I've kept this project semi secret until it was finished and ran....which we have done.

It was run at a 1200 hp level.....and everything is looking great....

We are actually just freshening it up.....so now we can get serious.

Nothing feels better than opening up a Motor and Not seeing any problems. Good for you. Are you running this in a F.E.D?

 

Tony, you've outdone yourself, again.
Very nice!

 

This Rockets getting ready to fly......

And yes it's in my FED

 

Tony,
Seeing Oldsmobile again on valve covers in any racing machine brings back many old but good memories of Paradise Mesa, Ramona, Carlsbad and Orange County raceway. They were tough, durable, recipient of many experiments and had a big following. Thanks for your hard work, time and helping an old guy remember. That too can get to be a chore! Good luck with this effort too!
