Message: <blockquote data-quote="swampratt" data-source="post: 4372833" data-attributes="member: 15054">For years I loved my Oldsmobile engines and TH 350 transmissions.I knew every nut and bolt size and every engine was awesome.Then I built my first small block  chevy after 2 years of researching it.I went mild with it a 268H cam some milled and ported heads and ported exhaust manifolds and a ported intake manifold single point distributor and Quadrajet carb of course carb and distributor were tweaked on.WOW!!!I called a buddy,  I built his 455 olds and it was in an early 70's skylark.I told him this 350 would beat his 455.NO WAY.It almost did.I thought man if I went a bit more compression and a larger cam this SBC would have some potential.I have choice of what I wish to build and for me it has been the chevy and the TH 350 transmission and to take the power my vehicles always ended up with a Ford 9" rearend from a truck.Not that is must be from a truck but that is what I have wheels for <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />For milder stuff give me the ford inline 6  or the Nissan/Datsun inline 6.</blockquote>
