Early Olds Tech - techomatic primer?

I don't trust that FAQ for accuracy. And I'm too lazy to read through all that to see if there are any other discrepancies, BUT one error that sticks out is where they list a 371 for '61-3. There weren't any 371's after '60.

 

i hear ya man,those places are great if you're into 442 Cutl*** type stuff,but pretty useless for us Rocketeer types.and for those who asked,YES,i will be doing a write-up on building a rocket for street use,just haven't got around to it-george

 

I'm going through old threads with stuff from all you rocketeers. I'm going to try to summarize it and post it here. I need to sort out a format too. Lots of in depth info, but it's all ****tered...

 

Keepin this one alive.Its got some good info I was seeking.Also leeds me to more search options than I could think of before.
Is anyone using the spray on a 303 or 324?
I saw that people are supercharging them correct?

 

Yes, 6-71 supercharged Olds 371's and 394's were common in the early '60's g***ers.

I have never heard of anyone using NOS on one, but I always wanted to see how much one would wake up with it. Not nostalgic, but what a fun project that could be for grins.

 

oh man,id love a 6-71 in my wagon.haha

 

Sounds awesome.

 

Here's some blown 394's in dragsters.

And a shot of the Henry's Welding AA/D, circa 1962.

 

Just bought 394 in good condition. I´m thinking that engine, A pick up ect., you know. I don´t have any gearbox yet. Of course four on the floor would be first in my dreams. Which components would you use? Tell me about original factory manual boxes, please. Are they hard to find, expensive, usable and so on. If law stops my dreaming, I have to put flathead between the rails. I really liked to use that powerful enough for me, but heavy engine.

 

Great Rocket post!!!
