I have been researching SBO engine builds to the point I think I have officially seen plans, arguments, and counter arguments to each plan, struggling to find a good plan to stick to:-)

I see some awesome Oldsmobile engine builders on ClassicOldsmobile.com so I plan to start a thread there (please don't hate) Some of the Olds guys sneak on here and peak at my thread but some wouldn't know what a "Yanko" even is:-)

Already a few bites on CO:-)

Also visited a recommended Engine builder today, we are on the same page budget wise...... That kind of scared me honestly:-)

We discussed all the processes and parts generally...... I am pondering..... TBD

My current train of thought is a simple (cost effective) rebuild of the warranty short block and original top end to use for street fun.

The original stuff is rough and needs to be saved from it's life of sitting disassembled.

Ryan, the Canadian Olds builders were Robinson Analytical from Grimsby Ont. The article was in Nov 2008 Popular
Hot Rodding, and it was Dale and Glenn Robinson, they built an Engine Masters SBO. Seems they built a $50 307 olds
into a 435hp hot rod motor for the competition. I don't know these guys but they seem to know SBOs, and Grimsby is
not far from here. May be worth checking out??

Dale is "gmrocket" on ROP... isn't on CO as far as I know.

My 83' Hurst Olds had the "little" 307 and a 200 tranny. Tweaked the QJ, timing, and kit in the 200 -- it cranked pretty good. I think it had a 3:73 cog out back ... TAZ
