    Just finished putting a 3.64 Posi third memeber out of 64 Pontiac big car, into my 57 Olds. Woke it right up as you can see from teh pic.:D Original third member was 29 spline, tried everything to make things work. Long story short had to have axles made the correct length and 31 spline to make it work.
    FYI- no posi's in 1957 for Old's or Pontiacs, first year was 1958, 29 spline, rare, then 59-64 31 spline.
    Enjoy the pics I have an alblum set up on this site if you would like to see more pictures of my 57.
    Kind regards,
    Jim

  12. solid cam and dimpled valve covers and you own one of the hottest 57's built. had a friend back in 57 with a factory stick J-2 that 371 made those 270 horse 283 chev's go home with tears in their eyes lol

    Damn is that beautiful ! The bottom of your car is nicer than the top of my car. Oh well I'm old, maybe that's it.:)
     
  21. What are the chances of you posting some larger "Glamour Shots" of your Olds? It's a Stunner! Centurion9

    very nice car 57 old,s are my choice of best car style maded
     
  23. C.W. thanks, for 52 years I thought my buddy had the real J-2 and all these tri-power cars were just dealer installed posers. The W-1 export makes sense, I've only seen 2-3 in my life. and have argued my case (p*** the salt it's time to eat crow again) many times over the years. Jim
     
  24. Awesome! I've always liked the '57 J2 Olds!
