Any 350 Rocket ideas?

oiler · May 07, 2004, 09:15:47 AM

I've got a friend that wants me to rebuild the Olds rocket in his 70 ragtop.
I'm thinking we'll just do a basic rebuild with new pistons rings etc.
bearings and all the usual stuff.
He'd like a little more HP so I'm looking at getting a Edelbrock package with the RPM cam,intake and carb.
Any other ideas I should look out for or consider?
I've stuck more to the Chev/ Ford side of things rather than messing with the Olds engines.
Thanks
Jeff

The Edelbrock package alone will wake that Rocket up.
Just remember they make all their power on the bottom end, so don't go crazy with the cam.

Crap, I should know better than to try and get one up on you.

BBQ, Fishing and beer are always here.

Have you got connections to get me across the border?
They might think I'm a terrorist or something.
