Thanks for the info, Ron. Very encouraging.
Damn, 75MJ that sucks about your engine. I got 8 trips to the lake out of mine before it crapped out! When I took it to be rebuilt I found that the crank AND block were both useless. I had a tough decision to make: find a block & crank to build another Olds, or start from scratch with a BBC. I chose the latter, and have been broke ever since!
Here's where all my money went.
