Not really anything to make fun of here, just surprised to see one of these. Such a low milage, clean one at that. I mean, I thought the vast vast majority hit the crushers a long time ago.

 

never actually seen one, were those 350 diesels as bad as people said they were? read it was more the fuel system that was shit design

 

when they worked they were a good setup. the old man had a 78 delta88 it got 15-18 mpg town 25 or so highway.

 

One of my uncles had an 88 with the Olds diesel, and loved it. Hell we even pulled the race car to the track a few times.... a 4 hr drive.

 

I have read the water separators on them were junk and they had rod bolt issues early on. And probably the lack of a few psi of intake pressure as well. You also had a public that probably expected maintenance like a car too.

 

I'm certain someone here might be in need of a Wu missile. Swarm son Swarm!

Missed something on that one!

 

Sorry couldn't help it. It was a lame ass attempt at humor

 

A guy I work with used to work in an engine reman shop in the 80's-90's. He said it was literally an olds 350 with an injection pump mounting pad added. They tried rebuilding them a few times but they always got returned. After a few years when they got one as a core, they just threw it away.

 

They were a little different than their gas counterparts.... block was beefier, and of course the heads were different with the injector, and the pre-combustion cup. They were similar enough that many of the blocks were used for hp gas builds.

 

so you could say it was the "mexican block" of the olds world?

 

And then some. You could punch one out a ton (as in .120) and add a 425 crank (they used the BB mains vs the SB ones) and you could top out at ~440 CID in a small block. The only Olds blocks that were stronger were the race stuff that would be the equivalent of the Buick "stage" stuff.

 

"defective" EVO long block.

What'd this poor fucking camaro do to deserve this fate?

 

The camaro must have been an import in a past life.

 

I guess exhaust tubing is better than PVC for a roll bar. Only $75.

Only 2K for this GTP, with awesome body work. I think it would last roughly 30 minutes in Chicago during the winter before the car melted in its entirety.

 

Did he work in a body shop for a week cleaning floors and now thinks he knows what he is doing?
