Since my daughter will be driving it, I decided it will be getting the stock 350. Well, I went and got the motor, it is actually a 1974, corporate blue and say Oldsmobile on the valve covers. The guy said he thought it was a good running 307 then he checked the block numbers. I turned the motor with my old Made in Canada, Grey 1" swing bar, 3" extension and 1 1/8" socket. Also pulled all the plugs, nothing out the ordinary, both motor and trans looked clean outside, oil was black but not tar. Well it had 307 early manifolds with the O2 sensor hole blocked off. I also got an 17083287 800 CFM non CCC Canadian Qjet, supposedly was the carb on it, makes sense if it replaced a 307 in a big car. Someone made a EGR block off plate, awesome, exhaust manifolds came off with no issues. The 2004R was also rebuilt at some point, has a tag on the D9 converter, hopefully will stall at the 1900 rpm my other ones, put it with the trans in the 88. I will pull the pan down the line, have a good fluid that came out looked super clean. It will get the 2300 stall converter, Transgo rings and slide spring, CK shift kit and their Billet GN servo, 4L60E filter and deep pan for the 70S. I got a later timing pointer and the reverse rotation water pump on, I will also try out my new bore scope, see how it looks inside.
