Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Bought a brand new set of thinner wall .980 wrist pins $67.00. New inline fuel filter $24.00. Heads are being surfaced and were .009 warped. When taking motor apart this head had 1 head bolt broke. The actual hex head of bolt was broke off and sitting in bottom of head by oil return passage. Found the right thickness head gasket with small bore and bought 2 sets $56.00. New total $3484

Jeff, I really appreciate the effort you are doing to document your costs as you go. At the end of the project, it will be a great resource for anyone considering a budget build. Thank you for sharing and working so diligently.

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Thank you for the kind words. I know this is not the state of the art build and it is not the best pieces money can buy. But I feel I can run 7-8 under and be bracket race competitive. Just think no roll bar to climb over, full soft bench seat, room for all your friends and might get as much attention in staging lanes as a FX car. LOL

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Made a mistake today on guessing how much to cut from head to get chamber down to proper CC. Way to far to get back to spec. Had to buy a used head for 60.00 and received cam bearings today 11.50 New total $3555.50

I usually takes about 0.005" ~ 0.006" of deck surface removal per CC of combustion-chamber volume for an Oldsmobile cylinder head. However, this is a guideline and you need to constantly check it. |

Jeff -
If you have a burette available, PM me and I will show you an easy way to get real close on the CC volume on one cut.
