Oldsmobile 350 - Solid Roller - Aluminum Head test stand startup

[@dumpsterminer5553]

Love the valve covers 👍

[@cbmurrah1]

Awesome! Thats what needs to be in front of my 4 speed in my 73 Omega. I'd love to see some Olds engine go head to head against the LS crowd

*I've always loved those Oldsmobile valve covers, I need to find a pair or even 1 to hang on my mancave wall.*

I feel like its the year 1990 again with the clear distributer cap. Remember seeing those at car shows.

[@qbertjones1271]

sounds good!. When Im ready I'm going to bring mine back to you to upgrade it like you did this one with the solid roller cam and aluminum heads.

There was a time when each General Motors brand (Buick, Cadillac Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac) had the freedom to design and build their own 350 V-8 engine. Which GM brand had the best 350 V-8?

[@BuddyLuvBihh]

@David Smith, what’s the price on the engine just like that built ? & how many Hp?

[@chrismc.4437]

Pretty easy to price out the parts and labor with a little casual investigation. Dudes like you always show up on these vids, how much? Where can I get one? Asking stupid questions like that on a KZbin post generally means youre so clueless or a fantasy boy.

[@johnplato4976]

Dave, do you still mess with any of the old 350 diesel blocks for high output custom engine builds for customers. Those old Olds 350 diesel engines gotta be hard to find anymore since after the cash for clunkers days ate alot of those cars up.

[@wdavidsmith]

I haven't seen a 350 Olds Diesel in probably the past 10 years or so.

[@Chris-ec2gu]

They still come up on Facebook marketplace for sale. Just recently seen one

[@davelowets]

They're all over the place yet... my local scrap yard has at least a dozen of them laying around

jjsrt8 Thank you. Lot of work put into it.

[@cortezbailey9493]

David Smith how much for a build i already got the 350 rocket engine?

[@chrismc.4437]

@@cortezbailey9493 Maybe call a local machine shop? If you have to ask, you can't afford it. As the old saying goes.

[@BigUnitBeef]

Tell us more about the build.

[@cobramike13bravo63]

God damn, feed it some multi vitamins.

[@droldsw31]

I'm confused about the end. Did it all of the sudden blow up, or a sudden electrical malfunction?

[@wdavidsmith]

The fuel pump was cut off, so it ran the remaining fuel out of the carburetor and died. That way the fuel lines and carburetor won't be full of fuel and leak all over everything when taking then off.

A solid roller cam, with a vacuum secondary carburetor, and a dual plane intake?? Umm, OK.

[@wdavidsmith]

1. It was a show car/street hot rod build, not a race car. Its built for exactly what the customer wanted. 2. Its a hydraulic roller, not a solid cam. 3. Its a 770 holley street avenger vacuum secondary. As I said, its a show and street car, it has A/C, it needs to have good cold starting quality, that's the reason for using that particular carburetor. 4. The heads and intake are matched, both are Edelbrock performer RPM. A high rise single and intake was not appropriate for this build. 5.. Please realize that every engine build is different. Its built specifically for what the customer wants it for. If it was all about getting the maximum horsepower while being willing to sacrifice street driveability and such, then I would have made some difference choices. This is exactly what the customer wanted. If you feel you can do it better, feel free to build a shop, buy all the engine machining equipment, and start your own engine building business. I won't bother me one bit. I have more work than I can do. I've been doing this for 30 years, I never knew I was doing it all wrong until someone in the KZbin comments section told me. So thanks for that. Ill reevaluate everything moving forward.

[@importsstillsuck]

@@wdavidsmith the title says solid roller.

[@wdavidsmith]

@@importsstillsuck Its been several years, but I must have accidentally put solid rather than hydraulic in the title. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime "Abgasbespassung".:-((
