That brings up a question....This car originaly had a 371. He replaced the engine with a 394 out of a 62 olds....when it was installed into the 60, the exhaust manifolds had the exit in the wrong place and the original 371 manifolds wouldn't fit. He had a shop refurbush the 371 heads and reinstalled them onto the 394 so he could use the 371 exhaust manifolds. The engine has NOT been fired up since the swap. Does this sound like an ok swap? So I guess when I look for an intake manifold or exhaust headers, they should be for a 371?

Pat...do you have a contact for this gu with the Olds parts?????
