307 Olds Stocker Motor
OK, my uncle, Jim Jordan and I are gonna run the Oldsmobile stocker again. I need some help with the motor and some other "upgrades" for the car. The car is Al Provosts old R/SA wagon. Its dressed in 1984 trim with a hydraulic 307, auto Turbo 350 trans and the car is made of lead best I can tell. lol
First off, I'm getting the heads done. Nothing tricky or on the edge but what is "allowed" as far as valve angles, springs, lifters, and rockers? I understand most things that were never allowed before either are legal or just not looked at. Like solid lifters in a hydraulic motor... Roller rockers, etc. Still uses the original fuel tank and has the stock interior.
Now I'm not asking for everyone's speed secrets but I want to be able to run under the index and at least make a good showing to get us started.
What about radiators and cooling? Can I run whatever radiator I want just so its the same size and design?
Any pointers are appreciated. This car hasn't made a pass in 15+ years. I am sure there are a ton of things I can do to get it competitive in R/SA.
Thanks for any and all opinions in advance.
Lee Jordan...
