Oldsmobile wagon money pit

Here are a few pictures of my 64 Olds F-85, a 442 version of the shaggin wagon.

 

Lookin great, keep us updated and keep hem pics comin.

 

Yeah...what Blackfoot said. What engine's that? Built?

 

That's going to be fantastic. What engine?

Can you restore mine too?

 

I can!!!! Could take me a decade, though. All the test drives, don't ya know!

 

Norm, I'm afraid you'd swap the rear hatch!

 

That's right! I forgot about that. Now that you mention it, probably the bumpers too!

Engine is a 1966 Olds 330 pretty much stock with the exception of the Edelbrock intake and carb, this car is a mutt, lots of donor cars have sacrificed pieces for this wagon.

 

So you're making the mutt into a purebred. Wasn't there an aluminum block in the '64's?

 

Last year for the (aluminum) 215 V-8 was 1963. I had one (my first car) GM then sold the tooling to Rover. The V-8 in the Range Rover is a direct decendant of that engine.

 

Didn't know what year, but a friend of mine is beefing up his Rover and has some tips about your engine (down halfway on the lefthand menu):

Seems they had Aluminum heads for the 300/330? He has pics about good valve grinds and some pretty bad grinds on the Cast Iron heads.
