    Does anyone know of any bolt on kits for a 1952 Olds Rocket 88 to install a small block chevy?

    The anti SBC guys are going to beat you like a bad stepchild. No kit that I know of and I'd be putting a 350 R out of an early 70's Olds in it if it were mine. Or a 455.

    Usually I don't give a rippy dodah about what guys put SBC's in but an Olds is an Olds and needs an Olds to power it.

  4. No, they only make easy kits for Chevys and Fords for the most part, you have to man up and do a little fabrication with an Olds. Which isn't that hard really if you know how to weld and cut steel, but there are plenty who don't.
