Any of the Olds V8s, as long as they were gas and not deezil.


LOL. You got that right...the "dieselized" Olds 350 was one of the biggest piles of crap to ever come out of Detroit (or any other part of the world).

Pffft. Ran one of those as a work vehicle for a couple of yrs. Long as you didn't burn up any glow plugs trying to get it fired when it got cold, didn't asphyxiate yourself with exhaust fumes until it got warmed up, and allowed yourself 3 miles to get it wound up to pass a Pacer, there was nothing wrong with them. Lol.

The injection pumps were POSs. Oddly enough it was almost the same injection pump (Roosa Master) Deere was putting in a number of ag tractors powered by six cylinders and they worked well, but I was the unfortunate owner of an '81 Caprice with that 5.7 T-U-R-D. The injection pump failed twice in a year and a half. Starters for those cost about four times what a gas engine starter cost back then. Ask me how I know.

Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
