Olds Rallye 350 Dyno Pull 1 30 17

[@alvinkarpis5755]

Casey Marks' Olds 350 in his W-31 dynoed at 430hp.Ran 12.80's w/466 gears through stock manifolds.

[@SammyVista1972]

Lots of fun to watch! Oldsmobile power! One learns something new every day.

Dude...shut up! This is Nick's show!

Yea, and this is Mr. CW's KZbin channel. So..

[@lucascady4992]

Craig Daliessio Nick is being very polite to a "Know It all!"

[@dewfall56]

What's funny is that back in the 80's and 90's Olds engines were all considered boat anchors. Everyone had or wanted Chevy or Ford motors (once in awhile you'd see a built-up Pontiac motor). That was the only thing to have if you wanted to make power. Now Olds engines are seeing interest. Maybe because there aren't many Chevy/Ford engines left, or maybe because these "exotic" engines are the in-thing now.

[@chipper442]

Uncle Nick at it again......making Dr. Oldsmobile proud.

[@rodneyhopper22]

Nick you suck your no tuner try some real research on the Oldsmobile engine s if you're gonna be an expert I'm laughing my ass off with your mouths suggestion hey Nick try using number five head's and or number six if you're gonna be so uptight with the small block heads more powerful than that number seven or eight head s

[@MrHeadshot1982]

My dad had olds 350 rocket and he love it keep up the good work.

[@davebarron5939]

Enjoyed the details on how the dyno worked. Enjoy your show / work, thanks.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Dave Barron nicks garage has videos too, and they're really good!

[@sorensenperformance]

You need a commentator with a brain that knows what he's talking about.. they did not put a 600cfm Rochester on anything they all flowed 750cfm.. and the BB ones were 800cfm

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Ok ok...

[@techmaven5900]

Correct..depending on the max secondary air valve angle, Q-jets were all between 730 and 800 cfm. Olds used 730 on the 330/350's and 780 on the 400, 425 and 455. Even the old 4GC Rochester from 65 and earlier was up to 692cfm.

[@mynameis9057]

great video , very informative about the dyno,thanks, loved my old garage hanging wrenching days,good times

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Michael Ferro thx bud

[@mynameis9057]

do you remember the 80s when we could buy these gems for a few hundred bucks in the local papers? if i only knew what they're worth now . your welcome.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Michael Ferro I sure do! I used to buy running cars for $100-$150. I just sent a deposit for a 1989 BMW 750il V12 in Los Angeles. Cereal Marshmallos made a video of it 5 years ago, check ytube. I hope to get it soon

[@ToyKingWonder]

I still have my 1968 Charger which I bought in 1978 from the original owner. My ex-wife tried everything she could to get me to get rid of it. Sorry, got rid of her instead. I paid $750 for it, very good shape, by working my butt off at Bob's Big Boy. I got the car, but could never eat at Bob's again!

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Steve 1961P. I love you too...

[@gearheadblane6265]

CORVAIRWILD: As a car guy talking to another car guy. It's all good. I enjoyed the video. Glad that you had Nick in it. I'm going to watch your other video about comparing the Olds and the Judge. Should be interesting. If so, I'll subscribe. Thanks for the video. BTW, Nail head Buick? Oh yeah, Nick's got a set of headers around there somewhere? LOL!

[@johnplato4976]

Could you have gotten to that 400HP mark or beyond with a 403 block painted the Olds gold to "look" like original 350 engine,, or would the windowed main web in the block compromised the strength for those 400+Hp @ 5000+ rpms?

[@erikcourtney1834]

Sounds and looks identical to my 72 olds 350 in my t-bucket. Well it’s the same build aswell except I have the 7a heads instead of the 6’s.

[@robinrouter2059]

always fun to build up an Olds rocket v8....i also like,appreciate caddy big v8s,Buick v8 hipo buildups!

[@chrismc.4437]

Nick's hair is flowing!

[@braddvaughn6076]

Didn't he say there was a ram air system? That might get the extra hp to get to 400?

[@texasblueboy1508]

What cam are they using ?

[@mikewest9033]

i have the same engine in my 84 cutlass supreme same intake manifold same rocker arm setup with the pedestal s I got the number 8 heads same value covers and all

[@fifteenbyfive]

Looks exactly like the Rocket 350 in my first car, a '72 Cutlass Supreme. That 650cfm carburetor on the table looks like the exact same carburetor on mine. Though by 1972 (and not a 310 HP Rally 350) it was only making 186 horsepower.

[@williamhugelmeyer2702]

heymisterderp 70 had a different SAE horse power rating system and compression was higher in 70 to reach that 310hp mark.

[@evanbarr9270]

That's about 260 HP.

[@96chevydually6.5L]

Not bad for Pump Gas!

[@terhhh87]

Some shops hook the dynos hot water to the their heating tank. And get "free heat" for their shops. And sometimes when they run high hp engines they need to stuff snow into the heat radiator that was placed outside the shop for extreme cases. When they really push a racing engine simulating a track session or rally stage. And not just run a engine through the rpm range.

[@builtfordtough4499]

I had a '70 350 rocket i balanced/blueprinted back in the day. I'm pretty sure it was over 400 with the edlebrock intake. The compression was up there with flattops but it ran on pump gas. I don't think your running enough cam. I ran an Isky 280 and it pulled a good 500 rpm further and had plenty of vac, your carb of choice all ran fine. Actually the 750 DP was the strongest but i never tried it when i had the car because i thought it would be too much, lol.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

The same guy also bought another Rallye 350 in the spring, pretty much a Survivor car with some Rust, but a really strong built 350. I took it for a test drive, and the back tires just wouldn't stop spinning! If he was more aggressive, I wouldn't mind racing all three that he has, two automatics and one four Speed. Maybe next summer I'll show his whole collection of three Rallye 350s, and I also have a 409 Biscayne that he found for me, and he'd like to buy, but I like my 3 409 Chevys!

[@ziggassedup]

I enjoyed that.

[@Wireman134]

Q jets were 750 and 800cfm. 70' L74 had hardened seats in the #6 heads

[@techmaven5900]

All Olds heads used hardened seats.

[@steve19745]

its good for 400+ the edelbrock and holly wont atomize the fuel you need fine door screen between the intake and head

You should run the quadrajet and see???

[@MitzvosGolem1]

give the guy a break..wow just having fun excited that's all man...why be nasty

[@Gav671]

The guy with the camera is so annoying. Anyway, if you want hp you need to pay. Quit trying to squeeze the lemon. Did you put the piston rings in? Why didn't old mate headbutt this tool?

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Gav Brady you are correct, we didn't use piston rings, we used precisely trimmed lemon rinds, cheaper, biodegradable, and tart smelling exhaust

[@soulfultenor]

They should have used different heads, I noticed the #8 heads which are lower compression heads, than say a #5, 3, 6 or 7 which are all older heads which would have given him the hp he was trying to reach.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

I'm hardly an Olds expert, even though I have a couple of 66 Toronado's with the 425. My friend is an Olds expert, and I would suspect that he was making recommendations to his friends Rallye 350 build. That car should be on the road this summer, he's been restoring it for 2 years

[@soulfultenor]

@@CORVAIRWILD you have the high compression 425 they have the same w30 heads as the w30 455 that found it's way in the Toronado

[@CORVAIRWILD]

@@soulfultenor they're both 1966, ultra hi compression. One is at my shop, but I'm out of town. I'll report back in a few days. Remind me corvairwildGmailCom

[@jamesdahl7713]

IS THAT A 4.057 BORE MOTOR ? WITH A STOCK 3.385 STROKE CRANK ?

[@peterrivney552]

If it's a '70 rally 350 it is factory 325 HP not 310...my '67 330 had 320 HP. And I got 425 HP out of it...and my '66 425 had 365 HP and I got 526 HP out of that...

[@CORVAIRWILD]

310hp, NOT 325hp. The 325 was the W31 option, and was never offered on any but the W31 Ram Rod. The Rallye had but 1 engine, the pedestrian 350 310 4bbl. Same idea as the W30 455

[@CORVAIRWILD]

You are correct in the 330 having 320 horsepower, but I doubt that that was accurate. It's just too much. Almost one horsepower per cubic inch in an engine that was offered in so many different models, that was supposed to have smoothness and quiet operation? Probably more like 290 or 300 at the most, hard to believe Oldsmobile over rateed their engine

[@craphittingthefan9445]

40 pulls wow talk about abuse to the customers engine, I would have talked him into a 455 and done 1 pull and called it good.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

CrapHitting TheFan I know 40 pulls seems like a lot, but these engines are made for thousands of drag racing miles, it seems excessive but it's not

[@techmaven5900]

Those are 1973 heads. 8 casting...1970 would be a 6.

[@rattle-can-resto5893]

I see a 6 on them

[@techmaven5900]

[@Spiked502]

Those 350 Rallys were total pigs on the street and ugly to top it off. Yellow bumpers? Are you kidding? I'm an Olds fan and a buddy of mine had a 327/300 HP Chevelle that would kill those cars at any speed. Now. A W31. That was a killer street car.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

You're correct about the yellow bumpers, the cars didn't sell. But when they put body colored all the challenger and 'Cuda, it was a hit. Go figure. And the Rallye 350 was just a trim package. The W31 was an entirely different motor. But this motor was built hot like a W31. We'll see how it runs the summer, I'm in touch with the owner...

[@jamespalmer9556]

old video, motor wouldnt quite make 400

[@mikewest9033]

are those number 8 heads

man that voice is familiar

[@randalljames1]

gotcha.. hey would you know about a very large bore, reverse rotation corvair motor? Got hold of this thing 30 years ago and it runs like a scalded dog.. Pulled all the fans and run in on alcohol... Seems like the bore was at least a .250 larger than the big corvair motor..

[@CORVAIRWILD]

randalljames go to Corvair Center Forum and sign up. I'm uglytruk there

[@7REDDRACO7]

Use a performer RPM not the performer you guys are silly. Port match it, that would do it. But no you want to run it 40+ times on a dyno. Its awesome anyway you look at it. Just having fun and doing it well. good job people keep up the good work.

[@hemi4sp]

gm net ratings were 1972 and later as installed not like this guy says-1971-----1970 454 ls6 450 hp-1971 ls6 was 425 hp because 2 point drop in compression but still solid lifters---1972 solid lifters 454 ls6 GONE!!--this guy is not correct just check a motors manual 68-74--it tells 72 later net as installed not 71

[@CORVAIRWILD]

Welllll.... I DISTINCTLY recall seeing net ratings in my 1971 manuals, both factory owners and shop. A Google search is somewhat conflicting, so let's say we're both correct. My mother ordered a new Pontiac T37 in late winter 1971, and I devoured any factory issued literature, and there's no question in my mind that along with compression and low lead compatibilty, factory HP ratings dropped to net in 1971.

[@johnbecay6887]
