Is there any way other than casting numbers to check what size Olds I have? Its a pain to find the numbers because its in the car still. I never really hear anything about big blocks that arnt 455s though. Figured one of you motor heads would know if it had different freeze plugs or somthing. Oh, and off the top of your heads, can I just slap a Holley 4150 on the stock intake? Its a 59 Olds. Has all the "Rocket" emblems on it.

Who knows... I get these "deals" from old people wanting cars out of there yards after the county hits em. So far Iv gotten 3 keepers. 85 toyota 4x4 that I drive almost daily, a 61 Lincoln Continental (one of my favorite cars) and this 59 Olds that Iv had running but needs a carb rebuild. Problem is the bellhouseing is hard to get to when your lazy and its ALL the way in my backyard.  Ill see if I can find it.

The car was way badass in the day. I remember driving past it almost everyday. It was an awful salmon color but 100% complete. The owner sanded it down to paint and stripped the interior and chrome and thats where it ended.. covered in surface rust with what I still hope is everything thrown in the car. They said it ran pretty fast for what it was. Ill see if I can get any pictures of it as she sits now. Deff. a good start for a badass looking cruiser. Might take awhile, internet is down at my place so I have to come back to my parents to post em.. F'ing dog apparently isnt a fan of wires coming out of the wall... 

Mondello is the Olds guy. The only place I would go for anything Olds related.
