Yes, no oil mods to the lower end... ie: main restrictors, no #5 main cap oil entry enlargement, clearances not blueprinted... So on and so forth. Like I told you before, quit "bench racing" and do it right the first time around.
Only one right way to build an Olds, and corner cutting isn't it!

X2 Also olds will not live very long if you are holding them at 5 grand for long periods of time. JMO. If you want to make passed go get a BBC
