That + Mallory Coil & 2 - 4 BBLs with a B7M trans shift kit after the ford rear.
The Olds engine fit just like the Cadillacs do however there was little other than custom motor mounts available that's why the Custom Radiator (Ole Fleke Radiator Works) & Exhaust System by G. "Lupe" Valenzuela at Whittier Muffler in 1959/1960. I did run it with a Buddy's GMC 6-71 Blower off his 40 Chevy coupe, sans Hood of course. I had Black wheels with Dog Dish poverty caps 6:70 X 15's Front, 8:00 X 15's Rear ribbon white sidewalls. Cool Hardtop, wish I still had it. I bought the 59 El Camino next (1st New car) White 348 3 speed on the tree. & 2 years later a 61 Pontiac Bonneville 389 3 - 2's & 4 speed, 8 lug wheels Blue w tri tone int. This is the absolute car I wish I had kept. A Young Family forced the sale because of payments were wrecking the family finances. My oldest son had Asthma & Loads of Doctor bills.
