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

Pat is absolutely correct. I see manifolds being sold on Ebay all the time that say they fit 303- 371-394..........WRONG!!! You want one that fits 59-64. I'll get you the part number off of mine next time I am at the shop if you want.

Yes...I love the rear bumper especially! But I really love the 59 caddy taillights that have been frenched into mine....

Kool Kruizer.
Had 1 a couple years ago.
Pics from when I got it, Can't find finished pics
but all I did was put chrome rims and baby moons, Flaked the top silver
and drove the SH*T outta it.

That was a sweet ride DA34......Gotta love that HUGE trunk lid!!

My valve covers are so called Starfire covers..........I guess that is what they came on originally. They are chrome.

Here is the very best Olds info site I have ever seen: Scroll down to the bottom of the first page and click on whatever you want info on, like heads. It should tell you the differences between the various ones. I do know my 64 heads have a different exhaust bolt pattern than the 59 Olds engine I had one time.........probably what the previous owner of your car ran into. Here is that site:

It will keep an Olds lover like you (and me) entertained for a while.

I would appreciate it Don..Thanks! Problem is I have 1960 371 heads on a 1962 394!!.....I think it has the 371 intake on it...Ill have to ask him. I know he gave me the 394 heads and a extra intake (2 bbl) so I assumed the extra intake was for the 394.
He also included a spare set of valve covers that look exactly like the ones on your engine but they are painted (maybe powdercoated) Are yours aftermarket and chrome? The look alot better than the stock ones on my engine now.
