-ryan:HMMM:
even the Olds guru, Joe Mondello, doesn't make any parts for the 394. It's without a mother or a father and not worth fooling with.
You can make your own headers, though.....

I put a 59 394 in a 53 olds with minimal problems but I heard the 61 to 64 motors were worse to adapt,I can solve the problems with a rebuilt 56 olds 324 that I was building for the 53. All the hard work is done and only needs a couple parts to complete,I also have a hyrdromatic trans and a stick setup. I wll trade all my olds stuff for a rolling 65 galaxie 2 door body. Jeff
Hey iv got a 330 with 300 powerglide trans if you want it (for Free!!!).
E-mail me at stumppy84@aol.com and put 330 engine in subject line.

Yeah, you're right Scooter, but they need to know the truth also.
