Re: My new project 86 Silverado
 

A lot of g bodies came with Chevrolet 350’s not Oldsmobile
So you have to make sure they’re for an Oldsmobile 350 engine
Most likely any header from a small block Oldsmobile car should fit in
A c10

Yes a ford roller rocker will fit the 350
For a mild engine I recommend comp cams magnum
1441-kit roller rocker kit for small block olds, available at jegs

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
 

Thanks for the info! Yea I'm keeping mine fairly mild. Will hopefully be looking into an overhaul by next fall with a new set of speed pro pistons which will bring me up to 9.5:1 CR with my current #8 smog heads. Looking towards a Comp Cams "Thump'r" grind or something similar in the Lunati Voodoo cams.

You could always put a 455 in
I have spare laying around lol

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
 

If it wouldn't cost me as much as it did for you to build the engine to ship it up here to Canada i would seriously think about it lol. That said...I may idly look for a 455 to drop in place of my 350 and drop the 350 into my '69 now that i know what mounts would be needed. Granted i will need to get some of the frame mounts themselves from a 73-87 C10 to convert to the newer clamshell mount. Though at the same time i kinda wonder what it would take to drop an Olds into a GMT400 chassis. Im in the process of buying an old rat rod i had once owned back. Except that in the years since i had it the body has been swapped to a '93 C1500 chassis to gain modern suspension and braking.
