New project, anybody know anything about SBC's?
Well, I found another $50 beater, but this has some serious potential to it. '86 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a 307...but the thing is, I don't know **** about carbs. So....I'm asking for help. If you know your ****, know of some proven parts, anything, post up.
Rough idea of what I'm looking for....all motor, ~350hp, daily driver. Needs to be reliable before anything else, but quick.

start with and aftermarket carb and intake manifold and cam shaft and exhaust that will give you close to what your looking for. other than that your gonna have to go with higher comp pistons and new heads

Rep Power: 316 Sounds like a good start...IIRC, Summit has (or at least used to have) an intake, carb, and cam set....exhaust might already be taken care of, it's definitely been recently redone. Almost no rust from the cat back, 2 1/2", no muffler. If it gets messed with, it'll end up being 3" duals, but I'm really liking the sound as is.
Heads...everyone's telling me to ditch the factory heads and replace them with aluminum. Would it make a noticable difference on a street car?
