    Hey Guys,

    Could someone possibly produce a pic of an Olds 350 head, facing the exhaust ports, or the header flange for a set of small-tube Olds 350 headers?

    Thanks!

    Not quite what you asked for, but here's an upside-down view of a set of Olds W & Z exhaust manifolds. The bolt pattern and port location is the same for Olds small blocks.

    For what it's worth, the divider between the center two ports -- on the heads -- does not come out flush with the surface. If you want that divider to seal to a header flange (or manifolds), you have to weld it up (or mill the heads).

    Gawd I wish the Olds small block manifolds had more in common with those big block 442 W/Z manifolds than just the port and bolt patterns.

    This is more like the Olds small block manifolds thasn those W/Z big blocks....other than a few similarly located holes and passages here and there......

    Dave,

    Where did you get that picture of a 68-70 AMC V8 exhaust manifold?

    I thought that you were an Olds guy! :laugh: :laugh:

    They do really suck. Big blocks are pretty good, though.

    I think I have a loose set of small block Olds manifolds somewhere out in the big pile out back. I didn't realize AMC did the same thing. Again, I didn't think they built more than 3 or 4 cars with V8's.
