Thread: My new project..60 olds...

You won't find headers but there are some aluminum tripower and 2 x 4 manifolds that show up on Ebay fairly often. I had a 2 X 4 setup on mine at first but then I found an Offenhauser tripower intake and that is what I have on it now. You can find new finned aluminum valve covers from various suppliers and also the finned aluminum valley cover that goes over the pushrod area.

That is about it for pretty parts. You can get internal parts like the pistons, cams, etc from people like Egge Machine, or lots of vendors sell the same parts on Ebay. Put in the keywords 394 Olds, or Olds Rocket (it isn't technically called a Rocket, but that keyword works.)

Here is a picture of mine before I painted it. Multiple carbs really finish these off IMO. Oh, my valve covers are what I have seen called "Starfire" covers. So I guess Starfires from that era had these on them.

I don't know what your plans are for paint, but man, would that car look great panel painted ala Watson.
