That looks like a smoking deal! He did not mention any oiling mods being done , you might want to ask about that!

Oil return. The olds tend to hold a lot of oil in the heads , and at high rpm's dont have sufficent oil in the pan. So there needs to be something done to help the oil back down.

I have no idea on that part , I have never had them done. I sold my olds as fast as I could get it out of the boat cause it had a hole in a piston. I am now running a ford , so I would call around and ask a couple mechanics about that. Assuming they are not already done in the first place.

in my opinion...(which means nothing) if the motor already has that kind of head w/ adjustable valve train, most likely have been drilled for oil return, but u should ask anyway, i checked into setting up my "k" heads like that was a little pricey for my book......

well i was going to go the other way..olds to bbc on my for sale boat..the only thing i could use was the carb and the exhaust snails, that was about it....you will need mounts for motor to boat and mounts from motor to jet , exhaust logs or headers, diff alt brackets, and diff driveshaft yoke universal thingy that mounts to flywheel and jet splines.....and some other stuff i forgot about...now thats a start...

Here is what he said he has done! Is that sufficient?

"I opened up the return holes in the heads and  it has a large volume pan.
 
I also cleaned up the flashing in the ports in the heads."

That should solve a good deal of the problems right there.
The other thing they do to a lot of olds is oblong the oil holes in the crank.
But what is already done should be sufficent enough.
I am no expert by any means , if you ask timinator he can tell you everything you need to know. He did a article that almost made me keep my olds.

What any item is worth is totaly dependant on who's buying and selling that item.

With that being said, I don't think that you could buy all the parts that Olds engine has, put them all together correctly, and come out for less than $2500. No way. In that respect, it's definately worth it.

His article (and my budget) DID make me decide to keep and rebuild the Olds. All I need is big torque numbers. Don't need no steenking RPM.
