OK, the engine is in good shape, no knocks or rattles or burning anything, and the oil pressure doesn't go below 20 PSI (can't say that about my 307! lol!), so, besides a tune up and a starter and battery, it'll be fine. I read though that it only puts out 120 HP. The Delta is a dog with 30 more HP than that, and this is a fullsize truck that will probably be doing some work (wood loads, possibly hunting expeditions, pulling a boat around the property, etc) at least until I get it all restored and ready to go. This is why I want to just add a 4BBL carb and header, it'll increase HP and torque a bit, and is very reversible. On one of the Oldsmobile forums I'm on, a guy that posts there used to own UltraDyne cams and now makes custom grinds for Lunati, so I might go with that as well. Aside from that, I want it to stay stock. The seat probably just needs reupholstered, but I'm just making sure that there are different options out there for it. Thanks guys!
